The centerpiece of the upgraded portal will be a lineup of more than 45 video-on-demand channels with a mix of free and fee-based clips, the Dulles, Virginia, Internet service provider plans to announce today. People will be able to scan the channels' "thousands of hours of videos" using a new interactive programming guide, an AOL spokeswoman said. The channels will feature videos from a variety of AOL partners, including A&E Television Networks, MTV Networks, Turner Broadcasting System's TNT and TBS, and Warner Bros. Entertainment."</i> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/AOL Logo.jpg" /><br /><br />I've been so anti-AOL for so long its hard to stop, but in recent months AOL seems to have gotten a clue. They are changing their entire business model and coming out with features that even hard-core anti-AOL individuals will want to use. Depending on the quantity and quality of the content the have lined up, this could be a slam dunk.
