Starting tomorrow (Oct. 17), Yahoo! will post up to 20 news clips each from 16 local CBS affiliates. The pair said the syndication agreement is exclusive.
CBS and Yahoo will share revenue from advertising sold adjacent to daily clips on the Yahoo! news site.
Yahoo! will highlight the local video to users who select a city or zip code within a CBS-owned market. The video will be station-branded and can be found on the Yahoo! homepage and throughout Yahoo! News. On Yahoo!’s local news pages, video will also include links to the station’s Web site, where users can view additional local video and stories.
