Yahoo View is now the preferred partner of
Hulu for full length television shows and movies
Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO) is excited to announce the launch of
Yahoo View, a new TV-watching site where you can watch episodes of
your favorite TV shows and go beyond the episode with clips, recaps
and the best of Tumblr fandom. Yahoo View is the extension of
Yahoo’s long-standing distribution partnership with Hulu and will
offer thousands of TV, anime, Korean drama and movies including
full episodes, films, and clips for free. This further emphasizes
Yahoo’s commitment to create an experience for people to consume
content they care about while being able to connect with a
community of like-minded fans.
Featuring content from Hulu, this Fall, Yahoo View will be the
best place to watch the last five episodes of ABC, NBC, FOX (8 days
after original broadcast) and other network sitcoms, day-after
clips, and full seasons of anime and Korean drama. Viewers can also
go beyond the episode in a community-watching experience and browse
photos and GIFs from the passionate Tumblr fandom. The new site
features a “beyond the episode” section that can visually block the
enhanced content that might reveal spoilers about the current video
playing, and picture-in-picture so viewers can continue to watch
while browsing to other content without leaving the screen.
“As a TV junkie and Tumblr fan myself, I’m personally excited to
have one place that brings together the best of free TV and Tumblr
fandom,” said Jess Lee, Vice President of Lifestyles Product at
Yahoo. “Yahoo View is our first step towards creating a powerful
community TV-watching experience, but it’s really only the
beginning.”
“Video is an important part of Yahoo’s strategy and we’re
committed to delivering the best digital video content to our
users. To date, we’ve streamed amazing experiences across sports,
finance, and news,” said Phil Lynch, Vice President and Head of
Media Partnerships. “This partnership with Hulu is a natural
extension of that strategy, bringing the best of TV &
entertainment content to our lifestyle vertical.”
View.yahoo.com is immediately available in the U.S. today.
Mobile web and mobile apps will be coming soon.
