Boy, the big name players jumping into the IP video distribution business just keep on coming. The latest: Wire service giant Associated Press announced today that it will launch an online video news network for newspaper, television and radio Web sites in the United States.
The AP Online Video Network will give members their own branded video player. But AP seemingly plans to keep all the ad revenue generated by their videos, allowing members to generate ad revenue from member-supplied content.
AP is also increasing the fees it charges to members by 2.2% to reflect the widespread publishing of AP content on member web sites. The company is also adopting a new licensing scheme along with the price hikes that purportedly gives publishers greater flexibility to republish AP content on the web.
