Website roundup
By Adnews Staff
Astral Media has modified the Family Channel website, located at <http://www.family.ca>, to include programming from the Disney Channel online. Several original Disney series and movies will be available on the website's video player beginning Jan. 30. The player has been redesigned to be more functional and to offer additional promotional options, including billboard space and video pre-roll. "The extension of our deal with Disney is a significant achievement for our business as it will enable Family to offer the Disney programming experience to our audience on all relevant platforms, linear, on demand and now online," said Joe Tedesco, vice-president and general manager at Family Channel and Playhouse Disney. "The combination of the new online lineup and the redesigned broadband player will make Family.ca a must-visit for kids eager for online content."
