Classic TV Shows Join CBS Audience Network

NEW YORK, February 21:
Classics from the CBS library, including Star Trek and The Twilight Zone, are being made available online on CBS.com and
across the 300 websites that make up the CBS Audience Network.

The initial lineup
includes full-length episodes of seasons one, two and three of the original Star
Trek, seasons one and two of The
Twilight Zone and the first
seasons of MacGyver, Hawaii
Five-O and Melrose Place, with more programs and clips to be added in the
coming months. All content is ad-supported, free to the consumer and available
immediately. It is available on CBS.com and across the CBS Audience Network,
which includes partners such as AOL, Microsoft, CNET Networks, Comcast, Joost,
Sling Media, Veoh, Brightcove and MeeVee, among others.

"CBS's commitment and
ability to move quickly and aggressively to monetize and distribute content
online is awesome," said Quincy Smith, the president of CBS Interactive.
"With offerings in entertainment, news and sports, this is about solving
for what the user wants and staying focused around CBS content. Furthermore,
meshing this content with the interactivity of the web allows for more
comprehensive experiences around each show—not simply a broadcast
model."
