YouTube is sniffing around the possibility of producing its own TV shows, and its VP of content Kevin Donahue said at CES that the company is even thinking of creating a TV channel with selected clips chosen from the millions that are hosted by YouTube on line.
“We’re noodling on it. We haven’t gone down a specific road yet. We’ve had a lot of conversations with networks that want us to do shows, companies that want us to do linear YouTube channels … We’re more in strategy phase right now.”
“Noodling” on it? Ha. Sounds like this might be a hybrid of America’s Funniest Home Videos and Jackass all rolled into one.
