NBCU to unveil trio of new sites, readies for CES

NBC Universal is set to tee up three new sites this month - with at least one of those debuts set for Monday. AccessHollywood.com will get a makeover and new direction - and be unveiled during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. nightly.msnbc.com was also set to debut tomorrow, with Brian Williams broadcasting live from CES.

We’re also expecting a relaunch of NBCSports.com with MSNBC.com before the Super Bowl.
NBCU is going all out for CES - with a massive booth, and live broadcasts planned for Today, Nightly, MSNBC, CNBC, Access Hollywood, Telemundo and News Channel. The company has also set up a blog at NBCUatCES.com They’re also rolling out something called the iWall - which is described with some pretty heavy prose:
Our booth at CES will include 290 web sites, 61 presentation tapes, 18 downloadable pieces of content, and 14 interactive sizzle reels on what’s called the iWall (you have to see this thing!)
I think I had a sizzle reel for breakfast once. Here’s the artist’s rendering:
