This is going to be something to watch as media conglomerates don't have a good track record with partnerships, especially with their Hollywood-sized egos playing into name selection.
I'm thinking the name is going to resemble that of a puppet company (think MovieLink) trying to be sexy, so it definitely won't contain the words "News Corp." or "NBC." They'll try to openly brand it this way so that Viacom and ABC have an option to join the syndicate. Such a move would obviously strengthen their leverage against YouTube, but would be difficult to pull considering we haven't heard any hard details as to how revenue sharing would work.
Just imagine throwing 4 retarded gorillas in one cage with one banana. All YouTube needs to do is sit back and press RECORD.
MovieLink sounds to be on the right track. Remember MusicNet? Ugh.
The Clown Co. execs will fumble this big. The good that can come from this is that conventional media might further understand the paradigm shift in how people want to be entertained. The record companies are still trying to get on the ball so it'll be interesting to see where this is heading.
