Hollywood Reporter reports in an article about MTV Networks (a part of Viacom) creating individual portals for their popular shows that the entire archive of “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” could be available by year’s end:
TheDailyShow.com, which launches in the fourth quarter, will archive the entire video history of the show including headlines, interviews and the “Back in Black” feature. The portal also will present the previous evening’s episode in its entirety an hour or two after its broadcast.
This is interesting, especially Lewis Black’s segment, and I think this could divert many people from YouTube to this new site, pleasing Viacom who I believe is still in that legal battle with Google over copyright infringement through YouTube. It will likely have forums like the Colbert Nation does – now that I mention it, would this affect Colbert’s site? Hmmm…we’ll have to wait and see. I personally hope that a bunch of Mo Rocca’s and Steve Carell’s segments will be on there.
