In an effort to spark interest in its new Fall TV lineup, NBC will stream its six new prime-time shows online starting next month. The NBC.com streams will be entirely ad-supported, with at least one
video ad slated to run at each point in the program where TV commercials normally air, said a network spokesman. NBC intends to offer the first four episodes of its new sitcoms--"30 Rock," created by
and starring "Saturday Night Live" alum Tina Fey, and "Twenty Good Years," starring John Lithgow and Jeffrey Tambor. The network will stream eight episodes of its new dramas "Kidnapped," "Friday Night
Lights," "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," and "Heroes." -- Wendy Davis
