Another Yahoo! exclusive, this time with CBS Television
While you’re relaxing this holiday season, you may have heard about Yahoo’s exclusive, commercial free streaming of the CBS ‘Comedy Bowl,’ which includes episodes from the shows ‘Two and a Half Men’ and ‘How I Met Your Mother.’
As Andy mentioned recently, we debuted a new frontdoor for Yahoo! Video Search, where you can easily find this content and also search deeper into our index to discover related or other interesting videos. Check it out and leave us comments to let us know what you think.
Happy holidays.

This is a an alluring proposition, cheers to Y!
hmmm…There is a couple ideas just dyin’ to throw your way….
Think about all the classic Television Specials or News Events that are still in many many libraries…. in many many places around the world.
Perhaps by the end of the decade, Yahoo will offer a service where users can STREAM or BUY or RENT from a selection of classic TV shows, newsreels, TV specials, early Music Videos, or even Old Black and White Classics from the 30s and 40s from around the world.
What is so-o divine about this propostion is that it is appealing to an esoteric aquired taste, so there is NO competition with TV or Movie Mainstream ( so they many cooperate, swiftly)
Think about it , will ya’…
This is a nice step forward. The video search works really well. Speaking of CBS, the only show I wanted to watch from them was Andy Rooney on 60 minutes, and sure enough, the video search came up with over 60 clips. Works as advertised. Thank you!
Great idea to team up with CBS I hope that you did not just sign an exclusive and will not have any more channels to offer because from what I have seen so far via my ipod I love it and would love more content! Any plans on cable stations like HBO ?
cool stuff!
I love Yahoo video and Two and a Half Men is probably the best thing to come out of CBS recently :)
Thanks!
