We’re hearing from CBS’ new partners a day after the network announced sweeping deals to distribute much of its best programming across the web. Some new details:

Brightcove: Users who watch CBS programs on Brightcove will be able to post comments, interact with other users, remix content through interactive editing tools and share videos through personal channels on Brightcove.com. Users will also be able to watch shows in a full-screen theater environment.

Joost: CBS is Joost’s first network broadcast partner. When Joost launches later this spring, it will offer CBS shows CSI, CSI Miami, CSI NY, Survivor, Jericho, NCIS, CBS Evening News, Showtime original movies and Showtime boxing, among others.

Sling Media: “Not only will we provide a video destination on the web, we’ll make CBS content available to our SlingPlayer software, and to our yet-to-be released SlingCatcher hardware - taking the CBS web video straight to the TV,” explains Sling’s Dave Zatz.
