Yahoo TV Launches The 9
Yahoo TV launched a beta version of something called The 9, a daily compilation of video that features the nine top Web videos of the day. The show is a kind of Entertainment Tonight meets VH1’s Best Week Ever concoction. The 9, which features a busty babe named Maria Sansone teeing up the clips and oozing her bronzed charisma all over the screen. And I mean oozing.
The 9 asks folks to vote on the daily videos they like the best and also features something called “The Pepsi 10th,” which enables users to submit their picks for the most compelling Web video of the day.. nice way to get viewer input to help them skim better cream!
