Eric Kallgren Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 12:14pm on Friday, May 22nd, 2009 | ESPN will show short-form content on YouTube, the companies announced on April 10, 2009:
"Disney Media Networks’ Anne Sweeney is leading a charge to expand its online audience.
Looking to reach a wider audience with its sports content and other shows, Disney Media Networks has made an agreement with YouTube to launch multiple ad-supported channels featuring short-form content from Disney-owned ESPN and the ABC Television Group.
The agreement allows Disney to sell its own advertising inventory within the ESPN and ABC channels. The roll out is scheduled to begin in mid-April for ESPN and early May for the ABC Television Group channels, which will include ABC Entertainment, ABC News, ABC Family and SOAPnet.
The agreement allows both companies to share revenue from advertising shown along with short videos, such as sports highlights, show recaps and original Web series. However, the deal doesn’t include full-length sporting events or TV programs, which are increasingly popular online.
The ESPN video player will be integrated into ESPN’s channel on YouTube and will play a variety of sports content and highlights on the site."
