Cartoon Network Plays Ball With NBA on Programming

Cartoon Network said it made a deal with the National Basketball Association to develop long- and short-form basketball content over a variety of platforms.

Cartoon is part of Turner Broadcasting, which has been televising NBA games for 25 years.

For fall 2009, when the next NBA season tips off, Cartoon Network is developing a short-form live-action series called “My Dad’s a Pro,” following the children of NBA players.

The network also will launch a basketball section of CartoonNetwork.com in the fall.

“We’re thrilled to be teaming up with one of the world’s most preeminent sports brands,” said Stuart Snyder, president and chief operating officer of Turner Animation, Young Adults & Kids Media. “This partnership with the NBA is part of the ongoing sports strategy at Cartoon Network and is a perfect extension of our brand that will allow us to continue to create even more relevant and compelling content that speaks directly to our audience.”

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Chanel is one of the more popular fashion Faux Handbags brands in the world. The double CC logo is instantly recognizable and its designs are known to be one of the best each season. The handbags from their collections are usually showstoppers and every fashionista would want one for their arm. This is especially true for the range of the vintage Chanel handbag. The bags are known to be of excellent quality, wonderful texture and designed to suit every need.

You can find a deal on a Marc Jacobs bag, but find out later that it is a replica and not worth what you paid for it. Be careful when you shop online, because there are many places that say the bags from complete, but no, they are not real.

You might be utterly correct on that!
