| | Wired News: Spelling Selling Virgin Interactive |
 | | Virgin Interactive, meanwhile, has found itself in a tangled romantic web, with Spelling owning about 90 percent of the company and cable-colossus Viacom owning the remainder. |
 | | Kris Kraves, a spokeswoman for Virgin Interactive, wants to be more helpful, but she's prevented by mysterious forces (her bosses) from discussing details of the Spelling sell-off or how this will affect Virgin's operations. |
 | | Although Bushkin declines to say how much Spelling's stake in Virgin is worth, or whether a prospective suitor is now waiting in the wings, she notes that the actual sell-off could take "several months." Bushkin adds that it's not known as yet what Viacom will do with its Virgin shares. |
