Well, this isn't a glaring item. [update: actually, this could be pretty weak, unless you want to visit sites for about 65 individual television broadcasters. IBS just provides "web-presence", apparently]
If you've wondered, also, of how commercial television broadcasters are making any use of the web, then it looks like IBS might be pertinent.
From a press release that marks them in with CNN, a general excerpt:
IBS is the first and largest network of local Web Channels-Web sites that combine "must-know" local news and information of major TV stations with a broad range of Web services, backed by extensive promotion from the stations. IBS has launched or will shortly debut local channels across a total of 53 markets, including 31 of the top 50 U.S. cities, in partnership with Hearst-Argyle Television (NYSE: HTV); Post-Newsweek Stations, a division of The Washington Post Co. (NYSE: WPO); McGraw-Hill Broadcasting Group, a unit of The McGraw-Hill Companies (NYSE: MHP); Capitol Broadcasting Co.; and across Canada with the CanWest Global (NYSE: CWG) network.
More: Turner Broadcasting is owned by AOL Time Warner. Nyesh.
Tangent, in the marking of corporate lines
In the bottom of the press release, it was noted: Turner Broadcasting is an AOL Time Warner company. I'd thought they were their own deal; I had no idea, they're owned like that.
I've lost some trust of them, today.
That is the Time Warner, which owns TIME, which must have been on something heinous when they selected GWB, as ... what was it, "person of the year"?
2KX, the surreal generation?
