BBC Offers Free News Clips on Yahoo! News

02 Dec, 2006, 2:30 pm IST | by Priyanka Pradhan | Services

Yahoo! News has begun offering BBC news videos on its site, via a new agreement with ABC News, which maintains exclusive distribution of BBC News on demand broadband and wireless content in US.

Yahoo! news now offers 30 video clips of BBC News video, daily, in categories of top stories, breaking news, U.S. and world news, sports, business, politics, technology, health and entertainment. BBC has offered all its videos free of charge, in the advertisement-supported effort.

Richard Sambrook, director of the BBC's Global News division said, "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. 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."

Scott Moore, head of news and information, Yahoo! Media Group says that BBC's content will be a tremendous complement to the content already available on Yahoo! News. He said that BBC has youth appeal, which gels with Yahoo! News users who are generally younger than audiences at other news organizations.

BBC joins a host of news broadcasters and publishers, such as CBS Corp, which recently offered its news clips, on Yahoo! News.
