A competing online service, The Source, launched the same year, but didn't grow as fast. CompuServe eventually acquired and then deep-sixed The Source in 1989.
MicroNET was renamed the CompuServe Information Service in 1980. Around the same time, CompuServe began working with newspapers to offer online versions of their news stories, starting with the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch in 1980. At least 10 major newspapers were offering online editions through CompuServe by 1982, including The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the San Francisco Examiner.

CompuServe added a wealth of other features: nearreal-time stock quotes, weather reports (with downloadable weather maps), lively forums, even airplane-ticket booking through the Eaasy Saabre system. And, of course, there was e-mail, which Compuserve apparently trademarked as "Email".
In early 1981, CompuServe executives were boasting that it had 10,000 subscribers. Subscribers would number in the millions by the mid 1990s, and the consumer service would account for more than half the parent company's revenue.

But it was chat, not newspapers, that people used most on CompuServe. The "CB Simulator," released in 1980, was one of the first online real-time chat programs in the world, and CompuServe users took to it like ducks to water. The CB Simulator, with 40 separate "channels," soon accounted for 20 percent of the time used on CIS.

was the first[1] dedicated online chat service that was widely available to the public. It was developed by a CompuServe executive, Alexander "Sandy" Trevor, and released by CompuServe on February 21, 1980, as the first public, commercial multi-user chat program.[2]
At that time, most people were familiar with citizens band radio, often abbreviated as CB radio, but multi-user chat and instant messaging were largely unknown. CompuServe CB used the CB radio paradigm to help users understand the new concept. Like CB radio it had 40 "channels" and commands like "tune", "squelch", and "monitor". CompuServe CB quickly became the largest single product on CompuServe despite virtually no marketing. When 40 channels was not enough, additional "bands" were added, such as the "Adult" band.

Citizens band radio - Wikipedia
Citizens band radio (also known as CB radio) is, in many countries, a system of short-distance radio communications between individuals typically on a selection of 40 channels within the 27 MHz (11 m) band. Citizens band is distinct from other personal radio serviceallocations such as FRS, GMRS, MURS, UHF CB and the Amateur Radio Service ("ham"radio).

Amateur radio, also known as ham radio, describes the use of radio frequency spectrum for purposes of non-commercial exchange of messages, wireless experimentation, self-training, private recreation, radiosport, contesting, and emergency communication. The term "amateur" is used to specify "a duly authorised person interested in radioelectric practice with a purely personal aim and without pecuniary interest;"[1] (either direct monetary or other similar reward) and to differentiate it from commercial broadcasting, public safety (such as police and fire), or professional two-way radio services (such as maritime, aviation, taxis, etc.).
