The former WB television network may get a second life as a new website from Warner Brothers Television Group.
The site, tentatively wb.com, will feature episodes of all WB-produced series that aired from 1995-2006, including Gilmore Girls, Everwood and What I Like About You.
There was no word on whether WB shows produced by outside studios would be featured - some of them big fan favorites including Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Felicity. Nor is it know yet if current shows on the WB will be seen. Sources for the new site told MediaWeek that the site will be ad-supported and will feature short series and vignettes appealing to women 12-34.
The WB and UPN networks merged to form The CW in the 2006-07 TV season; several WB shows that made the jump the CW lost their audiences.
