CBS and Yahoo! Ink Big Video Syndication Deal
Word just came out from CBS and Yahoo! that the broadcaster will greatly expand its program offering to Yahoo!
Here is a statement from Karin Gilford from Yahoo!
"As the #1 online TV site, Yahoo! TV is committed to offering our users the most comprehensive television experience on the Internet," said Karin Gilford, Vice President of Entertainment and Lifestyles, Yahoo!. "The partnership with CBS significantly expands our video offerings and provides our users with a consistent and best-in-class viewing experience. It?s all part of our strategy to become the starting point for the most consumers on the Web."
I've republished my interview with Karin which I did last month at the Yahoo! offices in Santa Monica. Great interview on the success of Yahoo! as video destination portal. Check it out.
