THE ZOCALO TODAY – Important Announcement
America Online
and Warner Bros. Domestic Cable Distribution are set to debut Wednesday their broadband
TV network, In2TV. In2TV will offer nearly 14,000 shows from 400 classic TV
series in an ad-supported, online service.
Thousands of episodes from some of the most popular television series of all
time will make a comeback exclusively on AOL.com (http://www.aol.com) in early 2006, thanks to a pioneering
collaboration between AOL and Warner Bros. Domestic Cable Distribution to form
a new broadband network. The network– called In2TV – will allow consumers to
stream full-length episodes from favorite series such as Welcome Back Kotter,
Sisters, Beetlejuice, Lois & Clark, La Femme Nikita and Growing Pains free
and on-demand on the Web. Along with full-length episodes, In2TV will also
include unique interactive features such as games, quizzes, polls, trivia
contests and more.
Heroes and Horrors TV: Sci-fi and horror fans will be riveted by this
channel that includes Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, which
was a Top 10 program on ABC for three seasons, starring Dean Cain and Golden
Globe-winner Teri Hatcher of Desperate Housewives, along with every
episode of Babylon 5, the Emmy Award-winning syndicated science fiction series
so popular that stations aired it twice a day. Plus, there's Freddy's
Nightmares hosted by the maniacal Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), the star of
the hit film series "Nightmare on Elm Street," and the adventures of Wonder
Woman starring Lynda Carter, which was consistently a Top 20 series across two
networks, airing on both ABC and then on CBS. Plus V, where resistance fighters
must stop "Visitors" from invading Earth.
This first-of-its-kind interactive video experience demonstrates the impact
of broadband—now in 53% of
This treasure trove of television programming will serve as a cornerstone of
the AOL.com website's commitment to delivering broadband video through AOL
Video on Demand (http://www.aol.com/video)
and AOL Video Search (http://www.aol.com/videosearch
and http://www.aolsearch.com),
as well as through AOL Television (http://www.aol.com/television), the number one television
destination online**. AOL's Video Search engine is one of the industry's most
comprehensive video search tools, drawing from the industry-leading AOL Video
on Demand archive of more than 18,000 licensed and originally produced assets
and over 1.5 million video assets on the Internet indexed through AOL's Singingfish.
"With In2TV, we are enabling Web users to experience and interact with
television programming in an entirely new way, and creating a new distribution
platform for TV content," said Kevin Conroy, Executive Vice President, AOL
Media Networks. "This is an exciting new way to experience these shows,
allowing Web users to enjoy what they want, when they want it. We view this
collaboration as truly transformational and yet another demonstration of our
commitment to making our next-generation AOL.com portal the best destination
for video on the Web."
