Next New Networks, a Web video company with popular networks such as “Veracifier,” “BarelyPolitical,” and “Channel Frederator,” to its name, and which just a few months ago signed a major distribution deal with MySpace TV, has now inked partnerships with the likes of Metacafe, Yahoo, and Hulu.
The details of the agreements between Next New Networks and its three newest partners are quite simple and are as follows: Next New Networks will distribute all of its programming catalog to both Yahoo and Metacafe, while the company’s relations with Hulu will begin with the distribution of six of its eleven shows, including “BarelyPolitical,” “Threadbanger,” and “Fast Lane Daily.”
In addition to Next New Networks’ partnerships with MySpace TV, and Metacafe, Yahoo, and Hulu, ties were recently forged with Amazon Unbox, Odeo, and Break. Joost, Veoh, iTunes, and AOL are also platforms used to grow its audience.
The company has made rather clear indication of its desire to deliver premium original content to online video venues to establish a presence that stands well beside material put forth by big-media houses, and its intentions have been met in kind by attention from some high-profile investors. In March, it secured $15 million in a Series B funding round led by Goldman Sachs and Velocity Interactive Group.
