'Curb' goes wide

TV Land and TV Guide Network say they are jointly acquiring basic-cable rights to air "Curb Your Enthusiasm," the HBO comedy series produced by and starring "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David.

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" will come to TV Guide Network starting in February. TV Land expects to air the series as early as 2013, immediately following its run on TV Guide Network.

Both networks also say they will acquire certain broadband, wireless and video-on-demand rights, bringing "Curb Your Enthusiasm" to multiple platforms.

Pay-cable network HBO is currently premiering the seventh season of the series, which also stars Cheryl Hines, Jeff Garlin and Susie Essman.

'Cloudy' for free

In a bid to sell living-room electronics and spur buzz for "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs," Sony Corp. began offering the movie for free to U.S. buyers of its Internet-connected TVs and Blu-ray players on Monday.

People who buy that equipment will be able to watch the movie in any 24-hour window from Dec. 8 until it is released Jan. 5 on DVD and Blu-ray disc.

Sony's move highlights the way that movies are increasingly becoming available on TVs that connect directly to the Internet, as the entertainment industry strives to come up with new business models.
