Yahoo to Launch 18 Shows

Simon Cowell, baby!

Yahoo is going all in on digital video. During its NewsFront presentation, the company unveiled plans to launch 18 new digital video shows, including a reality show from Simon Cowell and a live news show featuring Yahoo global news anchor Katie Couric.

Ad Age reports that the new slate of shows will all fall under three categories: original scripted shows; series derived from Yahoo’s single-focus sites, like Yahoo Style; and live programs. We’ll give you one guess on Yahoo’s target audience.
