In a bid to stay relevant in the fast-moving online video world, Yahoo has launched a daily Web show called “Primetime in No Time,” a recap of what was on television the night before. It’s a genre of programming that developed on TV (examples include E!’s “The Soup” and VH1’s “Best Week Ever”) and has manifested itself on the Web with programs like AOL’s “TV Squad Daily With Brigitte.” For Yahoo, it represents a foray into original programming after the company built up—then backed away from—in-house production. “We are trying to find the sweet spot with original content where we can complement what users are already doing, but give them a different perspective,” said Karen Gilford, VP and general manager for entertainment at Yahoo. “It also helps differentiate Yahoo in the video space.”http://www.tvweek.com/news/2008/03/yahoo_tries_again_on_web_origi.php
