The WB to be resurrected on WB.com
Cory Bergman March 8th, 2008
The WB merged with UPN to form “The CW” back in 2006. And now Warner Bros. says it will debut WB.com, a Hulu-like site with free episodes of all the WB-produced series from 1995-2006. “We’re in the process of developing several Warner Bros.-branded Web destinations and will announce all the details in the coming weeks,” Warner Bros. TV Group said in a statement. WB.com will debut in beta next month.

, if they can geInterestingt stuff from outside studios, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Or if they can get stuff that they re purposed, like Tiny Toons.
But if this means access to Gilmore Girl episodes 24/7, I’ll be happy. (Don’t laugh if you haven’t seen it!)

On 2/28, Michael linked to a third-hand report that an agreement between Warner Bros and Hulu was imminent and other sites have been saying that a deal has been close for about a month. Since then, I’ve been patiently watching the “studios” list in the Hulu sidebar and though Warner is still not listed, I’ve been pleasantly surprised that they started uploading the current season of “ER” last week, something which still hasn’t happened on video.aol, yet.
It looks to me that maybe Warner Bros is adopting sort of a CBS-type approach and they’re trying to get their shows in front of as many faces. Though, this still doesn’t explain the lack of “synergy” between two divisions of the same company, I’m still kind of happy with the idea that I may be able to keep-up with “ER”, if I miss an episode.
