We recently reported (also see here) that eventually broadcasters will want to kill their deals with YouTube after they think they’ve successfully created their own video portals.

Broadcasters still don’t but they’re figuring it out much faster than the music industry did. Especially Viacom and Comedy Central according to CNET.com.
