TBS and TNT go VOD

Time Warner Cable is adding video-on-demand content from TBS and TNT. Each will provide 8-10 hours of programming per month to Time Warner's free VOD service.

Both networks are a part of the Time Warner corporate empire. But in light of last week's news that these and other Time Warner companies will be providing video assets to AOL, it makes you wonder if a bigger tectonic shift is in the making.

First up for the new service? Subscribers in Austin, Texas; Binghamton, N.Y.; Charlotte, N.C.; Los Angeles; El Paso/Rio Grande, Texas; and Syracuse N.Y.
