MUMBAI: US-based company, Warner Bros Television Group (WBTVG) has unveiled two new broadband destinations that include TheWB.com and KidsWB.com.

While TheWB.com is an ad-supported video-on-demand interactive and personalised network, KidsWB.com (formerly referred to as T-Works), is an ad-supported destination built around youth-oriented immersive entertainment.

The charter advertising and promotional partners for this initiative are Mattel, McDonald's and Johnson & Johnson.

Also, the distribution and marketing partners include Comcast Cable, Fancast.com and AOL.

Additionally, WBTVG has created an application on Facebook platform for TheWB.com which will allow integration of Facebook's social utility on TheWB.com, and TheWB.com's entertainment content on Facebook.

WBTVG president Bruce Rosenblum said, "These destinations are perfect examples of our digital strategy to create targeted and niche destinations that present a fresh and compelling point of view to audiences."


He further added, "These initiatives enable us to create new brands and reimagine existing ones for a multiplatform playing field. They are complementary to our thriving traditional business and share the same vision of original episodic storytelling."

TheWB.com will target adults between 16–34 and feature the re-release of a collection of The WB Network's most popular series and other successful programming, apart from the original series created specifically for TheWB.com.

Designed for children aged 6–12, KidsWB.com will feature classic, original and contemporary animated programming from some of the industry's most acclaimed creators, along with more than 100 animation-themed games.

Furthermore, Time's Essence Communications has joined hands with WBTVG earlier this month on a series of initiatives that included the Internet and television.

One of the first projects to come from this new, cross-divisional collaboration is the late summer relaunch of a web destination at Essence.com. It has been created in partnership with WBTVG's Telepictures Productions, which aims to be the online destination for African-American women.
