America Online starts Digital City New York

January 30, 1998

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- America Online Inc.'s AOL Studios said Thursday it has launched Digital City New York, a local Internet guide that will rival similar offerings by Microsoft Corp. and privately held CitySearch.

Digital City New York provides news, sports, weather, traffic, tourist data, entertainment and other information on New York. It is available both to Internet users and AOL members.

It has seven departments ranging from News and Sports to Movies, Dining and Citywise, a source for urban survival tools, and provides information and commentary on local events, school board elections, subway maps to street fairs.

Digital City will also serve as a distribution vehicle for AOL Studios' brands and increases the advertising potential of these brands by offering them local play, the company said.

Digital City is now available for a total of 32 cities, the company said.

It rivals Microsoft's Sidewalk service, which offers local arts and entertainment online guides for 10 cities, and CitySearch.
