Google, MacFarlane Forge Deal
Google is experimenting with distributing original content, striking a deal with comedian and producer Seth MacFarlane, creator of Fox’s long-running hit series Family Guy.
Working with Google, MacFarlane will create an animated Web-based animated series: There will be 50 Webisodes, each will be two minutes in length.
The offering, Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy, will reside on Google-owned YouTube and be syndicated and distributed across the search giant’s content network to AdSense publisher sites.
Pre-roll and banner ads, as well as “brought to you by” messages, are available to sponsors.
