'Moments' will air during 'Day Break' episodes

Wednesday will be the first week for "Lost" fans without a new episode this season, but ABC is offering up some teases of what's to come in hopes that they'll stick around.

Starting with the two-hour premiere of "Day Break" -- which is scheduled to occupy "Lost's" 9 p.m. Wednesday timeslot for the next three months -- the network will air teasers from upcoming episodes each week. ABC is calling them "Lost Moments"; each will run 30 seconds during that week's broadcast of "Day Break."

The clips will also show up on the "Lost" page at ABC.com the day after they air. ABC is also keeping the season's first six episodes online throughout the hiatus to allow viewers to refresh their memories or catch up on the series.

Additionally, the network has added a "Lost" wiki to the show's site, asking fans to contribute material on the show's characters and mythology, offer theories about what's going on and share their fan films, spoofs and other content. (There's also has a link to unofficial but exhaustive Lostpedia.)

"Lost" is scheduled to return to ABC on Wednesday, Feb. 7 and finish the season with 16 uninterrupted episodes.
