NBC
Universal Cable Entertainment president
Jeff Gaspin says, "The launch of this
new digital brand is an important milestone
for us. NBC Universal has built a great
history of comedy from late-night to 'must-see
TV.' DotComedy is a digital extension in
the same tradition. Comedy is one of the
most successful genres on the web and this
broadband channel will appeal to the advertisers'
targeted demos."
The
focus of the programming on the new channel
will be original, web-exclusive material
developed specifically for DotComedy. The
broadband channel will also feature content
from NBC's legendary late-night shows, including
the first ten years of David Letterman's
late night career - NBC's Late Night
with David Letterman along with Saturday
Night Live, The Tonight Show with
Jay Leno and Late Night with Conan
O'Brien.
Sitcom
fans will find vintage material mined from
the NBC Universal television library, featuring
the HBO series Dream On, Leave
It To Beaver, The Munsters, Coach
and Significant Others. DotComedy
will also be home to a wide selection of
stand-up, sketch material and viral videos.
