BURBANK, Calif., Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Hollywood's NBC Digital Entertainment and NBC Universal Cable Entertainment say they plan to stream vintage television content on their entertainment Web sites.

Full-episode streaming of classic shows like "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour," "Kojak," "Miami Vice," the original "Battlestar Galactica," "Buck Rogers," "A-Team," "Swamp Thing," "Tremors," "Simon & Simon" and "Emergency" are expected to be offered on NBC.com, SCIFI.com, ChillerTV.com and SleuthChannel.com beginning this month.

"NBC Universal has a tremendous library of quality content and we are very excited to re-introduce these classic shows to a new Web audience," Vivi Zigler, NBC Digital Entertainment's executive vice president, said in a statement released Tuesday.

"These are the kinds of titles we get requests for all the time at the network, and now we're able to give our viewers a new way to watch their favorite classic shows and share them with their friends," added Craig Engler, senior vice president of SCIFI.com.
