Warner Bros., Joost team up

Warner Bros. TV and Joost are in business.

The studio has teamed with the Internet service to offer two channels: WBTV: Sci-Fi Fix and WBTV: Before They Were Megastars. Among the shows to be offered online on Sci-Fi Fix include "Babylon 5," "Adventures of Briscoe County" and "My Favorite Martian."

The Megastars outlet will feature high-profile celebrities who first made appearances on TV, including Brad Pitt, Kirsten Dunst, Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson on shows such as "Growing Pains," Kung Fu" and "Sisters."

In addition, career-launching shows -- "Welcome Back, Kotter" and "The Wayans Bros." -- will have a place as well.

"We believe the advertiser-supported model for classic, current and original programming is a significant and critical segment of the long-term future of digital distribution," said Bruce Rosenblum, president of Warner Bros. Television Group.
