NBCU, News Corp. still working on video site

Cory Bergman February 18th, 2007

A story in the NY Times explains how NBCU’s Jeff Zucker and News Corp’s Peter Chernin met with Viacom’s Philippe Dauman a couple weeks ago to try to convince him to rejoin their efforts to start their own user video site to compete with YouTube. But is all this just postering in negotiations with YouTube, or a real effort to create a viable alternative?

    One interesting fact is that Joost already has Viacom content from MTV and 2 VPs of the company are former MTV execs .So one has to ask is Viacom waiting for Joost to officially launch to place their content on that platform .
