TheWB.com to Stream Ad-Supported 'Network Classics'


Buffy never really dies

Warner Bros. has resurrected the dormant WB as an online destination for watching classic shows, reports The New York Times.

Two years ago, the WB TV network was killed and replaced by The CW — which, like its predecessors, targets the teen market.

TheWB.com shall feature ad-supported episodes of Friends, Smallville, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and others. Shows will appear alongside original video shorts produced for the site.

Warner Bros. already syndicates "classic" shows, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, to Hulu, which exited beta last month. There is no word on whether it shall continue providing programming on the NBCU- and Fox-owned video site.

TheWB.com officially launches in beta this May.
