AOL Relents On YouTube Distribution
- All Things D, Tuesday, October 2, 2012 9:57 AM
In an about-face for AOL, the online media company finally plans to start distributing its video on YouTube. The content will span 22 branded “channels,” but as AllThingsD points out:
“These aren’t YouTube’s new channels, where Google offers video makers a cash advance in exchange for a window of exclusivity on the site.” Rather, “The deal is
constructed the way YouTube used to approach ‘premium’ content makers: A simple Internet real estate + revenue sharing deal.”
