The broadband version of the series will also be available on TitanTV.com.

The TitanTV Network provides the programming, management support and distribution system to help stations maximize their content offerings and revenue generating opportunities as they diversify into a multiplatform provider.

"The proprietary technology of The TitanTV Network makes it possible for only those viewers within a stations' exclusive copyright area to access their content," comments Perry. "Our ability to replicate our nation's airwaves for broadcast over-the-Web provides a new way for viewers to watch and upload their favorite syndicated series, anytime and whenever they want it, and will generate a whole new revenue stream for the local stations."

Stations are free to sell advertising for their local broadband version of Jury Duty, with a three-way split between the station, TitanTV and Radar Entertainment. TitanTV provides all of the infrastructure so even the stations with the most limited budgets can carry Jury Duty online.

"We are delighted that the TitanTV Network's advanced technology and delivery system allows us to offer a broadband alternative for viewers who may have missed an episode of Jury Duty, as well as a way for us to generate additional ad revenue from the digital space."
