NBC Division Acquires Web Video Site LX.tv

NBC's Local Media Division has acquired LX Networks, a New York-based start-up that produces videos for the Web about high-end entertainment and culture centered around New York and Los Angeles. LX's slick LX.tv "channel," founded in 2006 by former MTV executives Morgan Hertzan and Joseph Varet (it was originally known as Code.tv), features high-quality production and professional anchors--many of whom are MTV Networks veterans themselves. Geared toward young professionals with a taste for luxury and a good dose of social energy, recent LX.tv videos have featured interviews with the founders of the Zagat Survey, the growing "small plates" phenomenon at New York restaurants, and a tour of a new martial-arts studio.
