CBS' YouTube channel launched today

by Adam Finley, posted Oct 18th 2006 10:07PM

Not too long ago I mentioned that CBS and YouTube had struck a deal where clips from various CBS shows would become available on a special YouTube channel. That channel, which you can find at youtube.com/cbs doesn't have a ton of clips on it just yet, but you can catch bits from Late Show with David Letterman, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, NCIS, Jericho, and clips from CBS News. The deal also includes content from CSTV and Showtime, though currently it looks like the majority of the content is from the CBS network. The deal with YouTube also allows CBS to keep or remove copyrighted content from the site if the network so chooses, which I assume is a way to get people to watch CBS content through this specific channel, only. I think now that networks are offering full episodes, a few small clips aren't going to impress Web surfers too much. What do you guys think?

"When the amount of shows on YouTube then removes the need for TiVo"

I doubt that happens.

Being the person to first post on this, my thought is nobody cares. CBS is national network which everyone receives anyway. When the amount of shows on YouTube then removes the need for TiVo, then we'll have something to look forward to.
