NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Wall Street Journal
Digital Network announced today the launch of Digits -- its newest
daily, live online news broadcast, providing a real-time look at
technology news, including top stories of the day, breaking news, the
latest gadgets, technology stock updates and the hot topics being
discussed online.

Beginning today, Digits will air live each weekday at 1:00 p.m. ET from
New York and will be available on WSJ.com, Barrons.com,
MarketWatch.com, AllThingsD.com and Dow Jones Newswires. Hosted by
MarketWatch's Stacey Delo, Digits will feature reporting and analysis
presented by reporters and editors from across Dow Jones, including
regular contributions from WSJ.com technology editor Julia Angwin; Wall
Street Journal personal technology columnist and AllThingsD.com
co-editor Walt Mossberg; AllThingsD.com co-editor Kara Swisher; Eric
Savitz, Barron's Tech Trader blogger and columnist; and Veronica Dagher
of Dow Jones Newswires. The show will also be available on-demand
following the live broadcasts.

"We've had a great response to our live webcasts, and Digits is a
natural extension of that," said Alan Murray, deputy managing editor
and executive editor, online, The Wall Street Journal. "Our online
users are deeply interested in technology, and we've got a talented
array of columnists, reporters and editors covering it. The Digits
show, whether watched live or on-demand, will give people a quick and
lively update of the day's most important and interesting technology
news."

The Digits brand was launched in December 2008 on WSJ.com as a blog
(http://wsj.com/digits) that continues to deliver breaking news and
insights about the technology landscape on a continually updated basis.

In September last year, the company launched The News Hub
(http://wsj.com/newshub) -- a live, twice daily online news broadcast
featuring true collaboration and expert reporting and analysis
presented by The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Dow Jones Newswires,
MarketWatch.com and AllThingsD.com. The network has since expanded its
live video coverage to include breaking news updates and special
reports from reporters and editors around the world.
