NBC Uni and News Corp moving forward with their Youtube killer!

-SHOMARI HINES After what we're sure was much debate, both NBC and News Corp will move forward with their plan to launch a Youtube killer. A press conference is scheduled for this afternoon however News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch will not be the one speaking on behalf of News Corp's roll in the deal, instead he is sending his number two Pete Chernin. We guess Rupe feels like he is above Jeff Zucker even if he is the CEO of NBC Universal. According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, the new venture could launch this summer and provide “an advertiser-friendly destination” for NBC's Heroes and The Office, and Fox’s Family Guy and 24. The newspaper reported that the companies also plan to sell downloads of movies from Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox. Isn't this new venture a rival of other video sites like Veoh and Revver as well? Why do we always forget about these guys? In other words, NBC and News Corp will have to get through them before they can even put a dent in Youtube. News Corp., NBC to Launch YouTube Rival [News MultiChannel]
