Thank you, and good afternoon. Before we begin our formal comments, I would like to remind you that in the financial news announcement released today, and also on this call, CNET Networks is providing specific forward-looking statements, including guidance related to our expectations of future financial performance. Any forward-looking statements made as part of our news today are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual or predicted results to differ materially. These risks are outlined in our fourth quarter and full year 2005 news announcement as well as in company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including its 10-K for the year 2004, which can be obtained from the SEC’s website or directly from our Investor Relations website. All information discussed on this call is as of today, February 6, 2006, and CNET Networks undertakes no duty to update this information. Last but not least, you can find a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures that we use in our news release and on this call to GAAP financials, on the last page of today’s news announcement, as well as in the slide presentation that accompanies this call, located at our Investor Relations website, www.ir.cnetnetworks.com.
Hosting today’s call are Shelby Bonnie, CNET Networks Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; and George Mazzotta, our Chief Financial Officer. Neil Ashe, Executive Vice President, will also be available during the question-and-answer session. Now let me turn the call to Shelby.
