If video killed the radio star, will The MTVi Group kill the video star? The company houses MTV Networks' series of Web sites, which feature more than 20 Internet music destinations, including MTV.com, VH1.com, and Sonicnet.com, as well as 14 international Web sites in Asia, Europe, and Latin America. The sites offer chat rooms, news, streaming radio, and Webcast performances. They also sell CDs, music downloads, and MTV Networks merchandise. MTVi has also partnered with RioPort.com to offer paid music downloads from all five major labels. The company laid off 25% of its employees and canceled an IPO in 2000. Through MTV Networks, media dynamo Viacom owns 90% of MTVi; Liberty Digital owns the remaining 10%.
