BBC News Video Comes to Yahoo News
Yahoo said it has reached an agreement with ABC News, the BBC's broadband and wireless content representative in the U.S., to bring BBC News video to its news site. Starting Friday, 30 video clips each day would be uploaded to the site on a variety of topics, including U.S. and world news, sports, business, politics, technology, health and entertainment. The videos would be provided at no cost, and would be ad-supported.
"We are pleased to bring the renowned journalism of the BBC to Yahoo! News, a leading online news service that reaches millions across the world," BBC Global News division director Richard Sambrook said. "The demand for BBC content in the United States is growing all the time and we believe our expansion on new digital platforms is critically important to helping us meet that demand."
