THE DISNEY-ABC TELEVISION GROUP has officially announced Stage 9, a new digital media studio. The studio’s first project is “Squeegees,” an online comedy show about a group of bumbling window washers. The 5-minute episodes will be released on Mondays and Fridays on both YouTube and ABC.com. However, this “new media” studio made a decidedly “old media” move by disabling the embedding of episodes. Disney seems bent on losing the benefit of word-of-mouth, as users cannot add the shows to blogs or social-networking profiles.
