MySpaceTV and BBC Worldwide in IPTV link up

by Jan Harris

MySpace has entered into a partnership with BBC Worldwide, which will allow MySpaceTV viewers to view, embed and virtually share short video clips of BBC content.

From 24 January, clips will be available from BBC programmes such as Doctor Who, Robin Hood and Top Gear.

MySpaceTV users from around the world will be able to subscribe to a BBC Worldwide channel, then view and share clips from current and archived content.

The BBC clips will be available in 27 international territories, seven languages and will reach almost 110 million global users.

Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies will share revenue from the clips, but details of the arrangement have not been revealed.

The agreement is the first global network agreement for MySpace, which is part of media giant, News Corporation.
