No Comments
CBS said Wednesday that it had signed an agreement with Internet television company Brightcove to allow the site to syndicate ad-supported CBS News content to users of the service. The deal expands on previously announced partnerships with AOL News, Comcast and YouTube to allow small and medium sized sites that include Brightcove videos to license CBS News content.
As part of the deal, segments from the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, The Early Show, as well as other CBS News programs will be featured on Brightcove. In addition, the network plans to make available content produced exclusively for the web. From there, members could use the Brightcove Syndication Marketplace to apply to become an affiliate, the company said.
