BBC, YouTube, deal
p2pnet.net News:- The BBC is thinking about using GooTube as a kind of trailer park.
It’s in “advanced negotiations” to make programming available via a branded channel, says MediaGuardian.
“It is understood that BBC executives are keen that the deal, which involves BBC Worldwide and the BBC, is eventually expanded to include putting content on Google-owned YouTube,” says the story, going on:
“The BBC will use Google Video as a vehicle to raise the profile of its content by posting clips of popular programming.”
Google has eight Google Video versions in Europe and “content partners” including ITN, IMG Media, A&E and Buena Visa International Europe, says MediaGuardian.
“Under the original deals the partners have used the platform for promotional purposes.”
