People will be able to scan the channels’ “thousands of hours of videos” using a new interactive programming guide, an AOL spokeswoman said. The channels will feature videos from a variety of AOL partners, including A&E, MTV, Turner’s TNT and TBS, and Warner Bros. Entertainment. It will also feature a prominent link to AOL’s video-sharing site UnCut, she said.
