For the first time, Scripps Network is posting a TV show - My First Place - to the web before it is broadcast. HGTV network's first broadband webisode will launch on HGTV.com on October 17, five days before the show airs on TV. Viewers can watch anytime that week before the series premieres on Saturday. The series features couples, singles, and families moving into their first homes.
This is the latest of a string of new shows premiering online. Recently, the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim property debuted content online prior to its on-air broadcast, and the WB network made the entire first episode of Supernatural available on Yahoo seven days before the show aired.
