Say goodbye to The Sopranos on HBO. Say hello to The Sopranos on AOL.

This shouldn't be any more radical than the original decision to put the show on cable to begin with. It wasn't that long ago that the conventional wisdom was that a series on cable TV could never compete with a network series. Moving to broadband TV is the next step, and AOL is too heavily invested in that medium to not be the leader. If AOL doesn't want to sell ads to run during the webcasts, it could opt for "presenting sponsors" who don't interrupt the action with ads but who pay for "other promotional considerations."

SILVIO: The Ford Motor Company, a real friend of the family.
