Viacom to Post Entire "South Park” Series for Free Online
November 30, 2007
New York - Viacom’s (NYSE: VIA) MTV Networks has announced plans to make every episode of its Comedy Central network’s “South Park” animated series available online for free streaming, Reuters reports.
Comedy Central recently also put the majority of the segments from its “Daily Show” series online, and the company said that, if anything, it has seen an increase in broadcast viewership as opposed to any drop-off.
“One does not diminish the other by any stretch of the imagination,” said MTV Networks chairman and CEO Judy McGrath.
“The Daily Show was the first out of the gate and it’s been a big success and it’s a nice little model for us to follow,” said Mika Salmi, MTV Networks president of global digital media. “There’s no limit to which shows we can use at this stage.”
Salmi added that MTV is considering an expansion of its Japanese myMTV mobile video social network into other territories, potentially including the U.S.
