In Brief: Citi in Tech Ventures With 2 TV Companies

One deal, with a pay-per-view television company called TVN Entertainment Corp., is expected to let Citigroup's e-Citi unit develop a system that may lead to providing the company's financial services through digital cable set-top boxes.

The other partnership, with an Internet television company called Worldgate Communications Inc., would make Citigroup the exclusive financial services provider for that company's Internet service.
