Next New Networks Becomes Leading Video Superdistribution Network

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Next New Networks, the leading independent new media company that creates and produces online television networks for targeted communities announced today that Yahoo!, Hulu, and Metacafe have become part of Next New Networks superdistribution network. This series of relationships firmly reinforces Next New Networks as the pioneering online video network to have their content on every major video distribution site on the Web. TubeMogul, the leader in web video analytics, also named Next New Networks the number one online video syndicator garnering more views than giants such as HBO, Fox and Warner Brothers from videos deployed by TubeMogul.

“This latest set of major distribution partners, Yahoo!, Hulu, and Metacafe, highlights Next New Networks’ belief in the power of our superdistribution network, which we have been growing since our inception”

These new non-exclusive distribution partnerships illustrate Next New Networks’ continued momentum in hyper-syndicating their original content. Yahoo! and Metacafe will each gain access to all Next New Networks programming. Hulu will begin distributing content from six popular networks including: BarelyPolitical, home of Obama Girl; Threadbanger, for DIY fashion tips and advice; and Fast Lane Daily, daily car news, which is also creating, for Hulu viewers to see first, a weekly round-up of Fast Lane Daily episodes.

“This latest set of major distribution partners, Yahoo!, Hulu, and Metacafe, highlights Next New Networks’ belief in the power of our superdistribution network, which we have been growing since our inception,” said Herb Scannell, Chairman and CEO of Next New Networks. “The big media companies including CBS, ABC and WB are following our same path of distributing content beyond destination sites to many platforms which affirms our position as a leading independent and is making the market for online video syndication more robust. Tube Mogul’s latest results show our original content is trumping traditional network fare.”

Next New Networks content will be available on Yahoo!, Hulu, and Metacafe alongside the programming lineups of several major broadcast, cable, networks and others. The addition of these three major partners brings Next New Networks’ hyper-syndication network to over 20 active distribution platforms across the Web including AOL, YouTube, Veoh, and MySpaceTV. The company also recently signed on to reach viewers via Amazon Unbox, Break, Odeo and Voxant’s New Media Network.

“Next New Networks has risen to the top of all the content syndicators who upload via TubeMogul,” said Brett Wilson, co-founder and CEO of TubeMogul. “Their fiercely loyal audiences have garnered them the top number of views from videos deployed on our service.”
