New gay Internet video channel powered by Maven Networks

Maven Networks, a Boston broadband video company, is in a new deal to launch an online video channel aimed at gays and lesbians.

The deal with the New York-based here! cable network, which also targets that audience, calls for Maven's media system software to be used to allow here! to deliver its programming, on demand, via its Web site. The service will be known as here! Video, and feature two to five minute shorts and trailers of here! programming, plus behind the scenes footage and some advertising content.
