YouTube's soon to be rival???

Just weeks after YouTube had a $1bn lawsuit battle on their hands, they now have another challenge from yet another media industry, last time it was Viacom, this time it is NBC Universal and News Corp. The two are joining forces in order to distribute full length tv programmes with the help of advertising. Over time these two instituitions hope to allow viewers to save the progrmames onto their computers so they may watch them when they want, but for now they are just showing streams of hit shows plus ads.

After the trouble with unauthorized content being available on YouTube, NBC Universal and News Corp. hope that their new idea will prove more popular and successful than YouTube.
