Tribune Co. beta tests WebTV production The Tribune Co. (TRB) added something extra to its two-hour Academy Awards preview show last night: text and graphics about celebrities attending the event embedded in the broadcast signal's vertical blanking interval. The extra content could be seen using the WebTV for Windows component of Windows '98, Microsoft's (MSFT) next-version PC operating system. Career highlights and other details about the celebrities interviewed by the show's hosts were displayed. The content also included background material about the Academy Awards, and an interactive game, Dodge the Iceberg, for the movie, Titanic. "What made this a unique experience was that we were able to create and deliver enhanced programming on-the-fly during a live event using Microsoft's VBI technology," said Lisa Wiersma, Tribune director/development, who is directing the company's digital TV planning efforts. "Enhanced programming is one of the many ways Tribune may utilize the digital capacity that our 16 television stations will be building out over the next several years. By experimenting early, we can better evaluate and plan our signal usage."
