MTV does more web deals
I don’t know about you but with 200 TV channels to go at I can’t find anything to watch most nights. It the usual story - soaps, reality TV (is there such a thing?), quiz shows, depress-u-dramas and third rate made-for-tv movies. So I increasingly turn to the web for my entertainment. As more and more deals are done I find I can watch some pretty interesting stuff, usually music or comedy centric shows or video clips. It is with a warm (well- tepid) heart that I report that MTV Networks has cut several online syndication deals with web sites.
MTV will supply short-form content to Veoh, GoFish, imeem, MeeVee and Dailymotion. These deals augment existing arrangements with AOL, Joost, MSN, Bebo and Comcat’s Fancast.
