The 3D joint venture of Sony Corporation, Discovery Communications and IMAX Corporation has added six new titles to its planned network programming slate, including original series and acquisitions, it was announced today by Tom Cosgrove, President and CEO of the joint venture. The programs - produced in native 3D - will join the series, programs and theatricals previously announced by the first 24/7, fully programmed 3D television network in the U.S.

"We continue to move forward aggressively to both create and acquire the most immersive and entertaining 3D programming for television audiences available anywhere," said Cosgrove.
