Hi Beth:

Nice site designs.  Here are my observations:

*Things I liked*

1. Good use of frames --all of which are functional (except the bottom ad
banner frame which I'm assuming has been disabled)

2.  Functional usage of Shockwave for NBCINMENU frame (good onmouseover
effects, informative)

3. fast-loading graphics

**Things I thought needed improvement**

1.  A few misspellings in certain sections (e.g. --"vendor assisitance" in
sales and marketing section)  This misspelling appears on both the KVBC site
and the "wherenewscomesfirst" site

2. Broken links in NBCINMENU frame section

3.  Links within a frame that open up on top of the existing site instead of
opening up inside that frame window.

4.  The text of the "wherenewscomesfirst" navigation bar needs to be either
larger or in bolder print.  Some of the text is distorted, indicating to me
that the width and height attributes of the graphics are incorrect.

5.  On the "wherenewscomesfirst" nav bar, make the "on" graphics for your
mouseovers have bold white text instead of black text, which is hard to read
with the different colors of the "on" graphics.

6.  On the KVBC.com site, keep a navbar across the top of all the pages that
someone selects within the NBCINMENU frame.  Otherwise, it's going to be
hard for people to navigate back to the splash shockwave menu screen.

Take care,

Mike
