CBS creates video-sharing network
CBS unveiled a video-distribution network Thursday that will allow users to share clips and full-length content for free.
The broadcaster announced partnerships with a variety of online properties and video-sharing sites, including Brightcove, Joost, Veoh, Sling Media, AOL, Microsoft and CNET Networks (publisher of News.com).
CBS shows such as CSI, Late Show with David Letterman, Survivor, CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, and some sports programming will be available for viewing. All of the content will be free and ad-supported.
Just last month News Corp. and NBC announced they would partner with AOL, MSN and Yahoo to distribute clips and full-length TV shows and films on the Web.
