PBS launches offers shows in streaming

PBS (The Public Broadcasting Service) turns 40 this year, and on Tuesday it gave itself a gift that just might make it feel young again, writes the LA Times.

PBS' new video portal (pbs.org/video) allows online viewers to stream an array of its best-known shows over the Web. The new site gathers more than 130 episodes of nearly 20 programs, including marquee fare such as "Frontline," "Nova" and "Masterpiece Theater." PBS says thousands of hours of programming should be available to users by the summer.

From Switzerland, videos don't show. Blank. Not even the usual message "this video is not available from your country".
