NBC Yanks Content from YouTube as Hulu Readies

As it prepares to launch its own online video service, Hulu, next week, NBC has closed its promotional channel on YouTube and yanked all its videos.

NBC confirmed that the pulling of videos did not represent any potential hard-line stance it may be thinking of taking, but rather, a move to boost Hulu, which is a joint venture between NBC and News Corp.

A YouTube spokeperson also confirmed the move, and said that they were informed of it last Friday.

Of course, this doesn't mean there are no NBC clips on YouTube --- they are all over the place --- and this move will probably, in the future, mean more policing of such clips by NBC.
