Prodigy announced it has purchased a stake in Sunshine Interactive's SonicNet, an online music industry information service.
Under the agreement, SonicNet will provide Prodigy with exclusive use of original content and a direct link to the SonicNet site. SonicNet offers chat forums, record and performance reviews, and links to other music industry-related sites.
