Public money. A new weekly financial news magazine is coming to public broadcasting. "That Money Show" is a 30-minute program to be taped each Friday evening after the
close of U.S. financial markets, and aired Sundays on PBS. It's set to debut Sept. 17. Bob Rumerman, managing director of LVM Group, the agency handling PR for the show, says the
program is about money, but not about the stock market, per se. Each show will feature a lead topic, often keyed to current events, along with guests to discuss the subject.

community, will launch in October, at the inaugural tradeshow and conference Broadband 2000, in Paris. The magazine, launched by Phillips Business Information (the parent company
of PRN), replaces International Cable in PBI's group of cable publications. The new mag focuses on key areas of broadband deployment and maintenance, including
system reliability, efficiency, capacity, transmission and construction. The conference is being organized by PBI. Kimberly McDonald is managing editor. (301/340-7788

billed as a "lifestyle magazine for the next generation of business leaders," includes sections on tools, trends, POV insights and indulgences.
