Global Delivers Online Glee Preview

TORONTO: The highly anticipated new fall series Glee is being previewed on Global’s website ahead of its September launch on the Canadian broadcaster.

Global TV is offering up the pilot episode of the show—which FOX in the U.S. previewed on air back in May after American Idol‘s final performance episode—on its website. FOX and Global are both slated to premiere the series September 9 at 9 p.m., after airing the pilot on September 2. From Nip/Tuck‘s Ryan Murphy, the dramedy follows an optimistic high school teacher as he tries to reinvent the high school’s glee club.

The online premiere is part of Global’s efforts to continue building its web offerings. Its website already claims the most overall video plays of any Canadian broadcaster, with 6.4 million video streams, and the most videos per viewer with 20 per month.
