The comedy show, through Broadway video, has inked an exclusive deal with Yahoo, writes Marissa Mayer, to show its content on the slumbering Internet giant. There's no start date as yet, but once it's up and running, viewers will be able to watch clips from the current season alongside gems from the show's 38-year history.
The CEO put the firm's goals in order: making Yahoo a great place to work at, creating beautiful product, and improving user engagement. And then, "ultimately growth." Yahoo is on course, she said, to "stabilize, and grow with the market."
The social network is hoping to add to its existing deals with ESPN and the Weather Channel, and up the news and entertainment content on its site to increase user engagement. A source claims that Twitter would stream videos and promotions, splitting the resulting ad revenue with the networks.
