NBC pulls plug on YouTube fare

NEW YORK, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- NBC Universal said it has pulled its channel on the video-sharing site YouTube in advance of testing the New York-based company's own service, Hulu.

NBC's videos are no longer available on the site, although the network said it might make its videos available on other services in the future, Bizjournals.com reported Monday.

Hulu will be a joint venture with News Corp. and stream full-length TV programs from the NBC and Fox families of networks, as well as other videos. The service is scheduled to go into private beta testing this month.
