YouTube mulls TV channel

YouTube is reviewing its plans for moving into television following interest from various networks, according to the company's VP of content, Kevin Donahue. Speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Donahue said: "We've had a lot of conversations with networks that want us to do shows, and companies that want us to do linear YouTube channels." He admitted, however, that the company was in a "strategy phase" at the moment. Rival Revver.com has already made the leap to TV, tying up with satellite channel Fame TV in the UK.
