FARMINGDALE, N.J.--May
23, 2000--JagNotes.com Inc (OTC B.B: JNOT) announced that it has signed
a letter of intent with Chelsea Television Studios (CTS), headquartered
in the heart of the Chelsea section of New York City, to house the production
of its forthcoming financial Webcasting service. CTS will also assist

Heading up programming development and production of the Webcasting
service is Emmy Award-winning producer Jack Reilly, former vice president
of programming for CNBC Business News and creator of such industry-standard
shows as CNBC's "Squawk Box," "Power Lunch" and "Business Center."
"With its central Manhattan location, this state-of-the art studio
will allow us unprecedented levels of interaction with financial professionals,
business leaders and casual investors from around the world," said

be instrumental in helping us reshape business news for the Internet
Era."

widely acknowledged among industry leaders throughout the New York media
market," continued Valinoti. "We look forward to working
with them as we grow into a global news organization."
"This type of relationship is what we're all about-working with media
