YouTube prepping UK TV show streaming


YouTube is in talks to bring full length TV show streaming to the UK, and the negotiations are going down right now!

YouTube has been tinkering with full length video streaming in the US recently, but the video sharing site is planning to rollout a similar set up here in the UK.

A senior source at Sony Pictures told New Media Age that a deal was being carved out right now: “YouTube’s aim is to do something with long-form. We are in discussions with it about that.” Those in the know at both ITV and Channel 4 meanwhile have said that YouTube is at the table with broadcasters too.
