In an OMMA keynote, CBS Digital Media President Larry Kramer said the webcast of “Everybody Loves Raymond” was an experiment to determine how many people watch the show online and what traffic is driven back to the Viacom site. The webcast carried no ads but in the future, Kramer said shows could carry ads which advertisers would pay additionally for and an option to view ad-free shows for a fee might be offered as well.
