IN2TV is the new offering with which AOL has announced that it is joining the free Internet television revolution. And boy are they just the ones to do it. With their Time Warner catalog of shows, Internet television may never be the same again. In fact, with IN2TV channels such as LOL TV, DramaRama TV, ToonTopia TV, Heros and Horrors TV, Rush TV, and Vintage TV, you may even start considering Internet television as a serious contender for your primary television viewing. The extensive Time Warner catalog will allow IN2TV to show such classic favourites as “Welcome Back Kotter”, “Chico and the Man”, “Eight is Enough”, “Falcon Crest”, “Spenser for Hire”, “Lois & Clark”, “Growing Pains”, and “F Troop”. Said Eric Frankel, Domestic Cable Distribution President for Warner Brothers, “This represents about a third of the relevant catalog, and more programs are being cleared each day. This service will bring an unprecedented collection of popular TV series to a totally new platform, revolutionizing the distribution of television programming.” Added Kevin Conroy, AOL’s Executive Vice President of AOL Media Networks, “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. We view this collaboration as truly transformational.” IN2TV’s LOL, DramaRama, ToonTopia, Heros and Horrors, Rush and Vintage TV channels will draw from a library nearly 300 series, totaling 4,800 episodes and more than three-thousand hours of programming. All free. In addition, AOL is in talks with “every major provider” to allow them to offer non-Time Warner content. This all sounds great for the consumer. But, if you’re thinking that at last you can ditch your television set and the commercials which come with it, think again. Because it will be advertisements which will support the free-to-the-consumer IN2TV. Still, with Internet television on demand, at least you can watch the shows you like, when you want to, which makes the advertisements just a little bit easier to bear. Look for LOL TV, DramaRama TV, ToonTopia TV, Heros and Horrors TV, Rush TV, Vintage TV, and other IN2TV offerings early next year.
