According to the story, Montgomery & Co., which is the bank repping the company, has valued the venture at $50 million, though that has met resistance from interested parties as it is expected to post an eight-figure loss this year. The talks are about either an investment in the digital venture, or an outright sales.

WMG is invested in Prep Sports Online, an online high-school sports network, and Takkle, a high school online sports social networking site.
