MUMBAI: Responding to the explosive growth of original TV programming beyond networks and cable, USA Today, the multi-platform news and information media company has launched "TV on the Web," a daily online and print listing of the best webisodes and video podcasts available online each day.

The video listings, ranging from web-only comedies and dramas to real-time tech reviews, cutting-edge animation and family fare, are selected by USA Today editors and reporters, including a weekly pick by USA Today's Pop Candy blogger Whitney Matheson.

"With celebrities such as Tom Hanks and Jerry Seinfeld entering the web-only space, and alternative programming sites such as YouTube, Hulu and Netflix carrying exclusive programming, the time has come to reflect the changing media landscape. This is the natural evolution of where TV programming is headed and USA Today is at the forefront by providing these listings spotlighting the best on the Web for our audience," said USA Today president and publisher Larry Kramer.
