Regularly Scheduled Programming Coming To YouTube In 2012

YouTube has big plans for 2012.  According to The Wall Street Journal, they’ll be getting into the regularly scheduled programming biz, launching at least a dozen new curated channels with regularly scheduled content spanning themes from fashion to sports and everything in between.

And we’re not talking channels of home videos and funny cat clips—we’re talking high-quality, professional content designed to draw viewers away from the televisions and onto YouTube.  According to Digital TV Europe, “YouTube is reportedly in the process of finalizing deals with major Hollywood studios and other international content providers to launch online channels on its platform.”
