The core programming content of each NBCU network and cable channel has been extended online with original “webisodes,” behind-the-scenes videos and blogs, Flash games and full-episode streaming, as well as other interactive features.

The NBCU sales team is well-versed at working with clients to develop these multiplatform opportunities. NBCU recognizes that successful campaigns are ones that work for both the client and the media company, and most important, the view-er/user. These campaigns need to be organic to the programming concept, relevant and timely.
