BBC video now available on YouTube
BBC and YouTube has entered in a partnership to offer to Internet users BBC content through YouTube. According to the press release, YouTube will create branded BBC “Channels” on YouTube. BBC and YouTube will offer from the BBC clips of new shows and specially commissioned promotional content linked to popular series such as Doctor Who and Life on Mars. At launch, the YouTube community will be the first to enjoy a range of specially-created video diaries including David Tennant and Freema Agyeman, who’ll take viewers around the set of Doctor Who; John Simm going back in time for Life on Mars; and Clive Myrie on the streets of the red zone of Baghdad.
Also another channel will be an entertainment Channel called “BBC Worldwide” showing clips from material such as Top Gear, Spooks, The Catherine Tate Show, The Mighty Boosh and a range of factual programmes including those presented by David Attenborough. The Channel will include a limited amount of advertising. Few days back YouTube joined hands with the National Basketball Association (NBA) and has started an “NBA Channel” Web site that encourage fans to post online videos of their best real-world basketball moves. YouTube has also signed deals with music companies including Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group and Sony BMG Music Entertainment that will allow consumers to use some of their music in the creation of videos. I’m happy that Google takes care about YouTube and enrich its content in this direction – BBC is highly respected source of news and it will be only good for YouTube visitors to have more content to watch…

This is excellent news!
Tho, i dont think BBC need to offer exclusive material this way to catch viewers, their content speak for itself.
