Quick Hits: Yahoo Revamps Video Hub, Shows Off New Series
ADOTAS – In the wake of portal rival AOL’s online video upfront with 15 new web series (one with Heidi Klum, one produced by Jennifer Lopez), Yahoo! unveiled eight new web series as part of the rollout of its revamped video hub, which will be a central resource for videos across all of the portal’s content verticals. AOL has Klum, Yahoo!’s got documentary film-maker Morgan Spurlock — the mustachioed maestro behind “Super-Size Me,” “The Greatest Movie Ever Sold,” and “30 Days” has produced “Failure Club” exclusively for Yahoo!. In addition, the portal has signed licensing agreements with Hulu, ABC, CBS (which is notably not involved with Hulu), UFC and Revision3.
