Defo a good move by C4 but how much have they wasted in the last 3 years going through alternatives. They are forward thinking but TBH not sure if they will around at all in about 20 years time.

This is an incredibly important milestone for the development of television broadcasting and another step towards the internet’s reign as a television content provider. Other broadcasters are going to have to up the game if they want to keep up – the Internet is the future of television.

Does this mean that the BBC will be able to do the same and that the commercial providers will withdraw any objections to us viewing the TV programmes we paid for with our license fee.

Brill news for YouTube who is heading in the direction of a global TV station with both content from mainstream media and UGC – Channel 4 thinking ahead.

Jon Gisby: “Channel 4 has a clear lead among commercial broadcasters in video-on-demand…” he says, conveniently ignoring BBC’s iPlayer

@Ollie well, this is a non-exclusive deal with YouTube so presumably partnering with Hulu when it comes wouldn’t be a problem.

Good news that a company is embracing YouTube properly rather than sending takedown notices all the time.

Where does this leave them with Hulu coming to the UK? I wonder if they could still partner with them?
