[LM_NET] Gen: A searchable database created for Carson's Tonight Show

[Janice Davies <jgdavies2004@YAHOO.COM>]

"Carson Entertainment Group, which owns the archive of the late-night host's 30 
years on "The Tonight Show," is set to announce Wednesday that it has digitized all 
3,300 hours of existing footage from the program and created a searchable online 
database for producers and researchers.

The library will initially be available just for professional clip-licensing 
purposes, but the company also plans to release 50 full-format shows on DVD and 
post a rotating series of historic clips for public viewing 
onhttp://www.johnnycarson.com."
Later in the article:
"The more searchable content, the more valuable it becomes, Leshney noted. Though 
researchers will have access to the Carson library for free, Carson Entertainment 
will charge a licensing fee to use each clip based on the type of project."
Couldn't have said it better myself.
