The CBS content will be added to Yahoo!’s programming lineup which also includes programming from NBC, Fox and more than 15 cable networks. The addition of Yahoo!’s millions of users significantly broadens the already vast online reach of the CBS Audience Network. When adding Yahoo! users to those of the 300 + active partnering video sites currently making up the CBS Audience Network, the unduplicated total reach is 92% of the U.S.-based Web audience.

This is a win-win in that it bolsters the distribution of CBS content while giving Yahoo! users access to programming that has proven to be among the most popular professional content online.” “As the #1 online TV site, Yahoo! TV is committed to offering our users the most comprehensive television experience on the Internet,” said Karin Gilford, Vice President of Entertainment and Lifestyles, Yahoo!. “The partnership with CBS significantly expands our video offerings and provides our users with a consistent and best-in-class viewing experience.
