MySpace, BBC Team Up

BBC Worldwide has announced a new partnership that will bring new and archived, short-form British Broadcasting Corp. content to MySpaceTV.

MySpace is recognized as the largest social networking site and this partnership continues our strategy of putting BBC content right at the heart of where audiences spend their time and watch video online, Simon Danker, director of digital media for BBC Worldwide, said in a statement. With the global nature of the deal, this is a great opportunity to put the best shows from the BBC in front of new audiences.

Shows like ‘Top Gear’ and ‘Doctor Who’ are enormous hits whether you live near the white cliffs of Dover or in Dover, Del., said My Space’s Jeff Berman. This is MySpace TV’s first global network deal and it reflects a fast-approaching Internet future defined by co-operation between corporations and the portability of content across new and traditional networks.

BBC content will be available at http://www.myspacetv.com/bbcworldwide.
