YouTube set to launch its own TV channel

YouTube is considering launching a TV channel featuring the video clips submitted by its users. Kevin Donahue, vice president of content for YouTube, said the company had been considering creating TV shows and might even extend that into a full channel.

“We’re looking at the options,” he said at the Consumer Electronics Show.
He added: “We haven’t gone down a specific road yet – we’ve had a lot of converations with networks that want us to shows and companies that want us to do linear YouTube channels. We’re more in strategy phase right now.”
