Good news, Warner Music Group and Youtube have come to an agreement about their music videos. This means the Warner music videos will return to Youtube. With Warner on board, YouTube now features artists from all four of the major music labels along with hundreds of independent labels. But this is probably also good news for Vevo, as it’s very likely now that Warner will also be part of Vevo and have all Warner Music Group’s artists videos included in the Vevo website. Unfortunately the specific launch date for Vevo is still unknown, but as soon as there is any news you will read it here first.

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009Vevo Launch Date and Partner News
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009There 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.
