MUMBAI: Time Warner's units Warner Brothers and America Online Limited (AOL) will join hands for a webcast deal. As per the agreement, for which a formal announcement is expected today, AOL will webcast 300 episodes a month of 100 classic TV series owned by Warner Brothers.

The shows include popular shows of yesteryears such as Growing Pains, F Troop, Babylon V and Welcome Back, Kotter. These shows will be shown free, on demand, with four 15-second commercials per episode on AOL.com in the USA. The feature is named as In2TV.

Reportedly, the shows will be available as streamed videos and can't be downloaded to a computer hard drive. The plan is to package each episode into several segments, and include games and trivia.

AOL has been making its best efforts to cash-in on the booming online advertising market by putting most of its content on the Web for free. As already reported, Time Warner wants to sell off some stake in AOL, for which Microsoft is seen leading the chase.
