PBS launches online video channel

April 22, 2009 PBS has significantly dialed up its online video strategy with the launch of a video-only channel that will aggregate thousands of full-length episodes from the network's top series, along with complete seasons of current shows and full back-catalogs of classic series. Classic series, such as the programs featuring cooking legend Julia Child, will also eventually be available in their entirety on the site. Plus, PBS plans to create programming packages for the site featuring compilations of episodes from shows that touch upon a common theme, starting with this week's environment-centric package, launched to coincide with Earth Day.
