Yahoo! News to Offer BBC News Video

SANTA MONICA/NEW YORK, December 4: Yahoo! News has begun
offering video content from BBC News on its website, with about 30 clips
available per day covering top stories, breaking news, U.S. and world news,
sports, business, politics, technology, health and entertainment.

Yahoo! has secured the BBC content via a deal with ABC News,
which represents the British pubcaster for the distribution of BBC News to
broadband and wireless platforms in North America.

Richard Sambrook, the director of the BBC's Global News
division, said of the deal, "The demand for BBC content in the United
States is growing all the time and we believe our expansion on new digital
platforms is critically important to helping us meet that demand."

"The BBC has established itself as an unparalleled
global news-gathering organization, and its content will be a tremendous
complement to the world class news already available on our site," added
Scott Moore, the head of news and information at Yahoo! Media Group. "The
BBC has a cool factor with younger audiences, a natural fit for Yahoo! News
users who are generally younger than audiences at other news organizations."
