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

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.
