Is YouTube Going Offline?
Jan 12th, 2007 | By James Lewin | Category: Digital Video Downloads, Streaming VideoYouTube is reported to be considering creating a offline TV channel made up of content culled from the thousands of clips posted on its site, according to YouTube vice president of content Kevin Donahue.
Donahue, speaking on the “Hollywood and the Digital Consumer” panel at the Consumer Electronics Show, said YouTube has been toying with the idea of generating conventional-form TV programs.
“We’re noodling on it,” he said. “We haven’t gone down a specific road yet. We’ve had a lot of conversations with networks that want us to do shows, companies that want us to do linear YouTube channels … We’re more in strategy phase right now.”
