What the hell are they doing? What … what … what … ARE YOU DOING CBC?

From Globe & Mail:

AOL Canada Inc. has forged a partnership with CBC that will see the on-line giant sell advertising for the broadcaster’s website and tap into its vast pool of video content.

The deal calls for AOL to become the exclusive seller of advertising to CBC’s website, beyond the on-line business the broadcaster brings in through its own TV and radio operations.

and:

CBC has renewed an existing agreement to provide news content for AOL’s sites, which it has done for roughly five years. However, the broadcaster will now spread video content across AOL’s on-line network as well.

The broadcaster is building a video syndication unit that will distribute and produce footage for on-line use and through portable devices such as cellphones, one executive said.

Can’t wait to pay for my CBC audio and video downloads. Jerks.
