BeebTube - YouTube and the BBC to do deal?
According to reports, YouTube and the BBC are working on a deal.
If true, I tend to agree with the writer's analysis that older shows and clips packages would be made available in an effort to spur DVD sales and raise awareness of programmes. Anything that will get them away from their very dubious dealings with Microsoft has to be a good thing.
A YouTube / BBC deal would make a lot of sense with the BBC's current push into commercial areas that sidestep the restrictions they have on doing overtly commercial ventures in the UK.
Be interesting to see how this one pans out. Original report here.
If you've enjoyed this post you can receive future musings, as I write them, via email. I post about once a week year on average. More techy folk might prefer to subscribe to my RSS feed and I'd be delighted if you do. I'm rather more active on Twitter, have a few pictures up on Flickr, and I tend to keep track of people on LinkedIn and reluctantly so on Facebook. My day job is running WorldTV.com - a site for doing cool things with online video.
