This is one crazy rumor (or maybe not that crazy)… so take it for what it is worth, entertainment value:
watchmojo.com is speculating that CBS and Viacom might be interested in buying Joost:
- CBS and Viacom launching a joint venture to counter Hulu.com
- using Joost
- and rebranding it all under the TV.com moniker.
The blog post is a little hard to read but go ahead and be your own judge.
Update:
Reuters are now picking on the story: http://www.reuters.com/article/marketViews/idUSSALPHA7872320080525
[...] As I reported last week there is a rumor running around that CBS and Viacom could be interested to buy Joost. [...]
