This is the most aggressive slate of online original programming we’ve seen from AOL since back before The Huffington Post acquisition when David Eun was still president of AOL’s media and studios division. Eun and his former Head of Video Programming, Amber J. Lawson were definitely bullish on original web series, and looked to leverage AOL’s massive traffic into audience for shows produced in partnership with Endemol, Electus, Next New Networks, and Vuguru. The deals for the majority of the initiatives listed above, in fact, were initiated and orchestrated during Eun and Lawson’s tenure at AOL.
