AOL And Warner Bros. Announce ‘In2TV,’ New Broadband Network On AOL.Com, Delivering The Largest Offering Of Long-Form Television Programming Online

(November 14, 2005 - Dulles, VA and Burbank, CA) – 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. This first-of-its-kind interactive video experience demonstrates the impact of broadband—now in 53% of U.S. households*--on the television industry, as broadband provides a new platform for television assets on the Internet. 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.” “Our goal is to be a leader in offering consumers unique and innovative entertainment options so that they can have as many choices as possible when it comes to choosing content. This deal with AOL is a great example of moving in that right direction,” said Kevin Tsujihara, President, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group. “We look forward to continuing to work with AOL on this and other exciting entertainment offerings as new platforms and markets are embraced by consumers.” “This service will bring an unprecedented collection of popular TV series to a totally new platform, revolutionizing the distribution of television programming. It will enable users the opportunity to be entertained and to interact with the programming that has groundbreaking interactive features,” said Eric Frankel, President, Warner Bros. Domestic Cable Distribution. “Visitors will be able to program their own personal network, making it a TV lover’s dream come true.” These series will be offered in a new DVD quality video format called “AOL Hi-Q.” This new technology, which builds upon AOL’s industry-leading online video experience, enables high resolution, full-screen viewing. It will be made available free to any broadband user (along with standard-quality streaming). AOL.com is the first major portal to offer this kind of high quality video experience to consumers. In2TV will leverage the unique capabilities of the online medium, allowing broadband consumers to experience, enjoy and interact with these series in a variety of ways.
