AOL has announced plans to launch a new broadband TV network rerunning old shows free of charge.
Programming on the network, to be launched early next year, will be provided by Warner Bros. Domestic Cable Distribution. Both companies are part of Time Warner.
The network will be called In2TV and launch programming will include reruns of La Femme Nikita, Lois and Clark and Beetlejuice. The shows will be offered in "AOL Hi-Q" format, for which a plugin will be required. Offered for free, the programmes will carry around a minute of advertising in every 30 minutes of programming.
"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 VP at 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."
