Turner’s Broadband Gaming Network Launches Original Animation

ATLANTA, July 19: Turner Broadcasting System’s broadband
gaming network GameTap has launched an original animated series, Computer
Lab
.

The series, for GameTap’s Animation channel, was produced by
GameTap and Soup2Nuts, the creators of Home Movies, which airs on Cartoon Network’s late-night Adult
Swim
block. It chronicles the lives of the denizens of an all night
computer lab at the University of State College.

Additionally, GameTap will now offer selected Cartoon
Network programs to subscribers via GameTap TV including Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi and My Gym Partner's a Monkey, among others. Further, the Anime Network's
critically acclaimed anime series Mezzo will premiere on GameTap TV today.

"There is a huge amount of crossover between people who
play games and cartoon fans so our decision to add Computer Lab, Cartoon Network and anime programming to our
Animation channel made sense given the direction we see broadband entertainment
headed," said Ricardo Sanchez, the VP of content for GameTap.
"GameTap TV is the leader in delivering short form original programming
over broadband and the addition of Computer Lab strengthens what is already a very compelling lineup
of shows."

In addition to more than 400 shows and videos on its
network, GameTap offers 580 video games. Subscribers pay $9.95 per month.
