Threshold acquires rights to online, offline programming

Netcaster TheThreshold.com has acquired exclusive rights to develop online and offline programming related to rocker Ozzy Osbourne.

Live-action and animated programming will bow first on the Internet, with an expansion planned to include TV and live stage tours.

"In addition to being an extremely successful musician and artist, Ozzy is one of the best-known brands in the world," said Threshold Entertainment chairman-CEO Larry Kasanoff.

The Osbourne content will be available at TheThreshold.com, alongside Ozzy.com, OzzyOsbourne.com and Ozzfest.com, all of which will be created and managed by TheThreshold.com.

"After looking at several companies to take over Ozzy's online properties, Threshold's creative and business ingenuity and passion for their craft were what we were taken by," said manager Sharon Osbourne.
