Vevo Launch Date and Partner News

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

There hasn’t been a lot of Vevo news lately, but the latest news we have is that Vevo will be launched in December 2009, which means the site is still about 4 months ahead. We don’t know yet when the beta will be launched, we hope it will be sooner. We have also heard that Vevo is now talking to CBS Corp and NBC to license and develop special shows for the Vevo site.  Vevo already has a content and equity partnership deal with Sony Music Entertainment and Vevo now also is about to close deals with Warner Music Group and EMI Group. A deal with Warner will probably be delayed because of an ongoing dispute with YouTube over financial terms. All the partners intend for Vevo to move beyond just being a website for music videos and artist interviews. They also hope to develop music-related content with programing partners like CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox.
