LifetimeNetwork

Let's face it: the Internet is a man's world. It's populated by an endless supply of videos of dumbasses getting hit in the nuts, how-to guides on illegal fuel injection modifications and porno, porno, porno.

Thankfully, one woman aims to change all that. Actress and 'Desperate Housewives' star Teri Hatcher is on the heels (see what I did there?) of launching her own woman-oriented website, the aptly named GetHatched.com.

So far, it looks to be a web magazine for women that provides stories from Hatcher and other contributors "that celebrates women and offers funny and real answers to life's little dilemmas and big problems." In other words, it's the Lifetime Network but it actually relates to women.

A long-awaited merger between two cable channels has been finalized...uh, finally.

A&E Networks aquired Lifetime as part of a deal between Hearst, Disney and NBC Universal. The deal makes Lifetime a sub-company in the A&E empire.

The deal puts Disney and Hearst in the front row seats of both networks with NBC in a distant third. This means that NBC can sell its holdings in Lifetime to the other two parties within the next 15 years.

There doesn't seem to be any serious announcement or confirmations of a name or brand change under their new owners. Lifetime will still be called Lifetime.
