Warner Brothers Puts TV Network Online

The WB is back -- online. The defunct TV network is coming back with a combination of reruns and new web-only programming aimed at the WB's young audience.

TV networks are seeing that online is the path to growth, but reviving a dead channel is a bit of a surprise. Producing high quality shows is expensive, but they want to draw the same demographic that fueled the growth of shows like Buffy.

The bar is being raised by web-only shows such as Quarterlife that will be attracting ad dollars. If you are wondering if execs see web video as a lucrative opportunity, don't. It's happening now.
