AOL To Launch Online Video Of TV's Favorite Oldies, Including Welcome Back Kotter, Babylon 5, and Growing Pains

Via InformationWeek :

"America Online Inc. and Warner Bros. said Monday they plan to launch early next year an online TV network that will bring back favorites from TV's past, including "Welcome Back Kotter," "Growing Pains," "Chico And The Man," and "Kung Fu."

"In2TV will allow consumers to stream full-length episodes, and will also include interactive features, such as games, quizzes, polls and trivia contests. U.S. households switching to high-speed Internet connections from dial up are the driver behind the broadband network."

This isn't going to happen until January 2006 or around there; pretty nice coup for AOL. Here's some other stuff that AOL has been doing lately:

• AOL Buys Weblogs, Inc.
• AOL Adds Podcast Search
• AOL Opens Up Mobile Storefronts
• AOL Releases Video Search Service, Plans to Open Video Hub
