HBO Launches YouTube Video Sharing Channel
With Def Comedy Jam and series like Entourage HBO is my favorite TV Broadcaster. When I vist New York, I always buy some DVD boxes at the HBO store.
I was delighted when I read that HBO and YouTube have reached a deal in which YouTube will create a channel, giving users access to clips from popular HBO shows and full episodes of budding shows. See the HBO YouTube Channel here.
Fans will now be able to legally pass along clips from some of their favorite shows, as well as watch complete episodes of new shows they might want to add to their viewing repertoire.
What smart similar deals do you know from other TV Broadcasters? Please post them below!

Very cool:)
A lot of businesses are “scared” to give away things for free. But if you do your content will be spread at a much higher pace and will reach so much more people. Between them will be buyers, sometimes you have to lose control.
That being said my favorite HBO series is: The Wire

First Lost, next Entourage and now The Wire indeed
More relavnt info: HBO seems to partner with many companies now, we might get 6 HBO channels in the Netherlands soon!
Nice, let’s hope so!
