ABC to provide media content to Veoh
Media Company ABC has announced their latest deal. This time around they are going to work with Veoh online service.
The deal would see Veoh broadcasting full-length episodes of Desperate Housewives, Lost and Ugly Betty.
Dmitry Shapiro, Veoh’s founder and chief innovation officer spoke about media network’s new found love for video sharing services: “You are practically seeing a mad rush of networks clearing rights and digitizing their shows and getting partners to showcase their shows. They now realize that most of their viewership happens outside their own sites.”
Tim Bajarin, principal analyst with Creative Strategies added: “I have argued with TV execs for 15 years about this and told them that they needed to see the Internet as just another distribution medium for content. Unfortunately they have been so tied to their broadcast and cable business distribution models and afraid of piracy that they had a hard time grasping this reality.”
