TNT Launches Broadband Platform

ATLANTA, August 9:
Original content from Turner Broadcasting System’s TNT network will be made
available on DramaVision, the channel’s new broadband platform that launches
August 15 with the first-ever broadband streaming of Steven Spielberg’s
acclaimed mini-series Into the West.

Housed at the TNT website
(tnt.tv), DramaVision will eventually include TNT’s extensive library of
original movies, including Crossfire Trail, Andersonville, George
Wallace, The Hunchback of Notre
Dame, The Librarian: Quest for
the Spear and Door to Door, among others.

The platform will also in
the future feature Ripped from the Headlines, a series of webisodes with CourtTV that takes
today's most intriguing real-life cases and follows them from the beginning of
the case through the judicial proceedings. Law & Order will serve as a promotional platform for this
venture.

And, TNT will supplement
such live-event programming as the Screen Actors Guild Awards with special
video content and camera feeds never before available to viewers. In addition,
TNT will partner with advertisers and local cable affiliates to celebrate
dramatic acts by real people from all walks of life. These profiles will be
shown both on-air and online via DramaVision.

"The TNT 'We Know
Drama' brand is one of the strongest in the television industry, and we are
utilizing the strength of the brand to build a significant presence for TNT in
the broadband world," said Steve Koonin, the EVP and COO for TNT and TBS.
"Through broadband presentations of our high-profile originals, original
programming produced for broadband and tie-ins with our stellar line-up of
series, DramaVision will provide drama lovers with the ultimate digital
destination."
