NBC, News Corp. sign video deal with Comcast | Tech News on ZDNet

NBC, News Corp. sign video deal with Comcast | Tech News on ZDNet: "The distribution deal builds on the recently announced joint venture between News Corp. and NBC that aims to take on Google's YouTube, the wildly popular video-sharing site that often features unauthorized programming from the two media powerhouses.

"Under Monday's agreement, Comcast said it will feature NBC and News Corp. programming on its upcoming video site Fancast.net, as well as on Comcast.net. In turn, Comcast will distribute its own video content, such as from E! and the Golf Channel, onto the joint video site of News Corp. and NBC. As part of the deal, the two companies plan to use video distribution and media management technology from ThePlatform, which is owned by Comcast."
