Bold and Beautiful and on YouTube

14/04/09

The Bold and the Beautiful is getting its own channel on video-sharing site YouTube, which will allow fans to access full episodes and extras from the long-running US soap. The distributors of the show have also inked a raft of new TV deals.

"We have a partnership deal with YouTube for a branded Bold and the Beautiful channel," explains Christine Waage, The Bold and the Beautiful's VP, international sales. "It's a useful sales tool, especially for the countries where we don't have a TV deal."

The show is distributed in numerous territories and new TV partners include Malaysian free-to-air broadcaster RTM and Egyptian public broadcaster ERT. It has also just gone back on air in Turkey, on Kanal Turk, having been off air in the country for over a decade. A dubbed Farsi-language version of the soap has also just launched in the Middle East.

In the US the half-hour series has been on CBS since 1987 when it was launched as a sister series to The Young and the Restless. It is produced in LA by Bell-Phillip Television Productions. The producers are currently weighing the feasibility of another location shoot, this time in South Africa.

Good for them. Leverage new media and make the most of a global audience plus they get stats they can give back to advertisers to augment the Nielsen numbers.

More soaps should undertake this type of model. Its where the future of serialized drama is, the internet.

B&B would be the second soap legally streamed on YouTube, after Y&R, which is screened via the CBS video channel. It looks like B&B will have a channel of its own though.

It was about time!

It sounds like they're going to limit content to US audiences. If an international partner wants to pay for streaming rights, then they'll drop the IP filters for that country. It still sounds fine...it means they get the content up there, and available. It is essentially building an e-library of shows that they'll be able to repurpose forever.

CBS holds the streaming rights for Y&R in the US, and all the non CBS streams (including Youtube) still carry the CBS logo and ads.

It sounds like B&B won't do it like that...will be interesting to see.

This sounds virtually identical to the Agnes Nixon/AMC international streaming thing I linked a week or two ago. Soaps are going on the net. It seems the WGA writers were right to fight for a share of streaming rights after all.

ABC as usual is behind the times. All of the soaps, whats left them, should be on seen on youtube.

Now there's an understatement, if I've ever heard one. :lol:

They saw that jend2004 or whoever the hell was uploading illegal current B&B content to the web was getting thousands of hits with streaming the show, so they wanted to get in on the fun. Who can blame them? It's their stuff.

Just don't take down the classic content, dudes!

so AMC & OLTL are the only soaps not legally online? What a shame.

I have to say i really do not watch any soaps on tv anymore. I watch Y&R on youtube. Days on iTunes. and those are the only two current soaps im watching now (full time), i also watch Another World on Hulu.

I really do think this is the future, if there is one.
