Cynopsis 1/29/07 Good Morning, it's Monday, January 29, 2007 and this is your first early morning briefing. Launching a website these days is rarely news. What does make news is when a cable network says it will drop out of the cable linear business, in favor of a broadband business. Cable network LIME has launched its own broadband channel where it features a variety of original content focused on "healthy living with a twist." In launching the website, LIME says it will also phase out its linear channel, currently available in approx 7 million homes. According to the Wall Street Journal, while the channel will continue to provide VOD to its cable subscribers, the focus will be on online where they've already signed a handful of video deals including deals with Yahoo, Google and AOL. Two major advertisers have also been signed so far - Toyota Motor Corp and L'Oreal's Garnier. Tonight's Premieres: Court TV: Suburban Secrets at 10p

Prosperity at 830p; According to Jim at 9p; and In Case of Emergency at 930p,
