Netscape Enhances Entertainment Channel on Netscape Netcenter

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (February 17, 1999) - Netscape Communications Corporation
(NASDAQ: NSCP) today announced that it has teamed up with AOL's Entertainment Asylum, where the fans meet the stars online, to provide movie- and television-related content and services for the Netscape Movie and TV sub-channels on Netscape Netcenter. These additions complement the newly redesigned Netscape Entertainment Channel, where Entertainment Tonight Online continues to provide new, easy-to-use features and services designed to help visitors relax and plan their free time.

The new Netscape Movie sub-channel on Netscape Netcenter offers users a wealth of movie and entertainment resources in one convenient location. Netscape's Local Channel provider, AOL's Digital City, Inc., the nation's largest and the Internet's most popular local city resource and interactive community guide, provides local content services in the Movie sub-channel, making it easy for moviegoers to have instant access to local movie listings and showtimes. In addition, moviegoers have access to Entertainment Asylum's full, multimedia-rich entertainment features about the latest movie releases, Hollywood news, award nomination information, top box office and top video rental information, polls and On-Demand celebrity video clips. Entertainment Asylum and Digital City content make it easy for anyone to find movie information fast, such as full listings and showtimes in a local area, favorite movies by category, and what movies are opening on a particular weekend.

Television viewers can now find everything they need to decide what to watch and when to watch it with the new Netscape TV sub-channel on Netcenter. Entertainment Asylum and GIST TV provide users the latest TV listings personalized to their local cable system and interests and Entertainment Asylum content brings together in one place current TV headlines, full multimedia features on the latest TV shows, interviews, 'behind-the-scenes' set visits, sweeps information, events, and polls.

The new Netscape Movie and TV sub-channels join the redesigned and enhanced Netscape Entertainment Channel, which features general entertainment coverage, the Celebrities sub-channel programmed by Entertainment Tonight Online, and the Music sub-channel, programmed by JAMtv Corporation's Rolling Stone Network. Building on the success and favorable customer reaction to the existing programming, the new Entertainment channel features an Entertainment Planner that provides users with everything they need in one location to plan an evening or weekend including movie listings, TV listings, concert happenings, and local dining information, and a What's
Coming area that features a look at what is coming out in theaters, TV, video, CD-ROM and DVD. The channel has been redesigned to offer consumers an easier-to-use look that gives them more planning tools and utility right up front.

"With Entertainment Asylum's top-notch programming for the new Movie and TV subchannels, and the expansion of our existing quality programming from Entertainment Tonight Online and Rolling Stone Network, the Netscape Entertainment Channel easily becomes a leader in providing the breadth and depth of entertainment-related content and services that consumers are demanding from the web," said Jerrell Jimerson, vice president of consumer programming for Netscape Netcenter.
