From classic movies to Court TV, Yahoo! is getting into the broadcast business. Broadcast.yahoo.com will feature interactive audio, video, and other multimedia from a potpourri
of Web-streaming sites including ABCNews.com, Travelocity, and Accuweather. In other Yahoo! news, the portal has announced a major redesign of its print publication, Yahoo!
Internet Life, to become more consumer-oriented. Says press contact Diane Stefani, "Five years ago when we launched, only six percent of the U.S. population was online," she says.
"Now it's up to 50%, so we're less technology-focused." Look for more on fashion, Internet privacy issues, and reviews from the first-ever ebook critic, Christopher Layman of
The New York Times.
