LX.TV—formerly Code.tv and occasional target of Gawker mockery—is all growed up. The proudly idiotic web video lifestyle porn purveyors have been acquired by the good people at NBC. Specifically NBC's "Local Media Division" which seems like sort of a sad ghetto for such an ambitious group but LX.TV has been enriching viewers of New York's WNBC for some time now with their terrifying original content. Meet a new worst person in the world every week! It's seriously hypnotic. Anyway, New York is dead and now you can watch drunk i-bankers party on its corpse live on channel 4. [NBC Universal]

On the one hand, we feel like a proud father, but on the one hand, there is a tinge of guilt over unleashing a monster into the world. But what is done is done. While the site looks exactly the same as before and the content remains the same, LX.TV has managed to pull in some recognizable faces. The almosthotbutnotreally SuChin Pak of MTV will interview the likes of Tim Gunn, who is featured in the latest video posted to the site.

We briefly mentioned this as an update to our A.J. post from yesterday, but Code.tv founder Morgan Hertzan appeared on MSNBC's The Most to talk about the "Models and Bottles" video and to plug Code.tv. Nothing too earth shattering here, though Hertzan clarifies that "AJ is his real name, MSNBC exclusive" - that's the power of the mainstream media for ya.

More shocking footage from Code.tv, this time a few blocks east on 27th Street, where clubgoer Pedro Andrade ("Me and my friends, we were trying to run away from the Chelsea night life scene") and owner Fabrizio Brienza take us through Happy Valley. When our tipster says, "This guy makes AJ look like... less of an asshole," we are not sure if she is talking about Pedro or Fabrizio, but we agree completely.

We are not exactly sure what Code.tv is all about (tagline: Your source for privileged lifestyle intelligence), but Clublife directs us to a video promo for the nightclub Cain (tagline: i-bankers gone wild at NYC's most decadent nightclub).

This morning was supposed to be special: according to Brandweek, today would mark the launch of Code.tv, an online television network aimed towards 25-49-year-old New Yorkers who earn $100K or more (i.e., suits and web entrepreneurs). Featuring aesthetically pleasing hosts, "Code.tv will show viewers new restaurants, nightclubs, and stores in New York and the Hamptons." Think Daily Candy meets Thrillist meets MUG meets YouTube meets migraine headaches.
