Sony Corp of America is going live on the World Wide Web of the Internet with Sony Online, a service to exploit and promote Sony’s entertainment interests, notably the movie and record companies and the video games business. Sony Online brings together all of Sony’s product, programming and technology in one exciting venue, said Mitchell Cannold, president of Sony New Technologies. Sony Theatres will offer an overview of the company’s theatre operations, including a US state-by-state listing of its theatres, and there will be a catalogue from Sony Electronics and a shopping service featuring merchandise linked to television shows, films and music artists. Sony plans formal launch in September but is previewing it at http://www.sony.com.
