Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Microsoft is teaming with The Associated Press to offer an advertising-supported online video news network in the first quarter of 2006, the companies announced Wednesday.
Microsoft will supply the technology, video player and advertising support to the network, while AP's broadcast division will provide the video, which will feature about 50 stories per day. AP, the world's oldest and largest news-gathering organization, originally announced plans to develop the venture after a board meeting in July.
