Report: NBCU, News Corp. near video deal

Posted by Cory Bergman on March 21, 2007

PaidContent reports that NBCU and News Corp. may firm up an online video partnership as early as this week, but there’s still the possibility that it all falls apart in negotiations. As we’ve reported, both companies (and Viacom, earlier) are discussing a joint venture to create a YouTube alternative of sorts. They’re talking to potential distribution partners — such as Yahoo and MSN — but nothing is set in stone. Stay tuned…

    will youtube, revver, etc. wind up sueing nbc, news, viacom, etc. when some of their material winds up on the site?

    oh boy!

    in interest of complete reporting and not getting horses ahead of carts…didn’t PC say this deal is still as likely NOT to happen as it is to happen?
