AOL, Time Warner Inc.'s Web unit, will introduce five online programs from producers such as "Survivor" creator Mark Burnett to attract advertisers seeking to reach beyond traditional media. The programs, including an online game based on the "Shrek the Third" movie and a reality show where finalists will move to an island, will be presented to about 500 potential advertisers today at Time Warner's New York City headquarters. AOL Chief Executive Officer Randy Falco replicated television's so-called upfront presentations, where networks such as ABC and NBC use previews of new shows to sell ads for the coming season. Falco, who joined AOL after three decades at NBC, is seeking a bigger share of the $29 billion online ad market. "Right now and moving forward, the best way for advertisers to reach their audience and understand the need of their customers will be online," Falco said in a telephone interview.
