Yahoo is set to launch an online TV service in Europe, through a partnership with TV maker Vestel.
The deal will see Vestel deliver Yahoo’s ‘Connected TV’ service to more than 40 countries in the region beginning in 2011.
Content will include TV shows, movies, video and web content in Europe, via TV sets.
The plan is that Yahoo already works with other TV manufacturers including Sony, Samsung, LG and Vizio for Connected TV.
This brings web content to television from Yahoo properties such as Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Weather, Yahoo Video and Flickr, along with websites such as Amazon, Blockbuster, Ebay, Twitter and Facebook.
