You Tube Channels

Background
After months of speculation, Google has finally announced the launch of over 100 new YouTube channels. These channels will consist of professionally-produced original content covering a wide variety of interests, everything from dancing (Madonna's DanceOn) to professional wrestling (WWF) to finance (Wall Street Journal). Google is rumored to be subsidizing the content production via a $100m investment fund that will be recouped via advertising revenues, which will be shared with producers once the initial investment has been recouped. The majority of the new channels will be introduced in 2012.
