YouTube in New Negotiations with C4 and C5

29 June 2012, 14:11 CET

Channel 4 and Channel 5 are in new talks with the online video sharing site YouTube after their existing deals expired.

The broadcasters originally signed a deal back in 2009 in which VoD serviced 4oD and YouTube serviced Demand 5. However, the agreements expire in March 2013 and November 2012 and therefore they have kicked off renegotiations over the distribution deals ahead of the termination.

In the last three years, C4 has attracted 114 million views on its YouTube channel, 4oD, and it has accumulated 343,000 subscribers. In contrast, C5 has assembled 31.8 million views and 33,000 subscribers.

It is reported that discussions are underway to extend the deals but it is not yet disclosed for how long. As evident of the news, more and more organisations, regardless of the sector, are turning to YouTube and other video sharing websites to boost their presence on the web.

Businesses across the UK can reap many benefits by optimising their videos on the influential platform. There are various sites that allow businesses to publish videos on such as Yahoo! Video, Hulu and BlogTV but YouTube is the market leader.

According to recent findings, over 800 million users visit the site every month and over three billion hours of video are watched every month too.
