Yahoo! has quietly shut down its video hub, Yahoo! Screen, which was home to live sporting events, SNL clips and, most notably, Season 6 of "Community". The news was first reported by Variety.
The move comes just months after Yahoo! announced that it had suffered a $42 million loss on its ambitious originals initiative, led by the "Community" acquisition.
“At Yahoo!, we’re constantly reviewing and iterating on our products as we strive to create the best user experience,” said a Yahoo! rep Monday in a statement to Variety. “With that in mind, video content from Yahoo as well as our partners has been transitioned from Yahoo Screen to our Digital Magazine properties so users can discover complementary content in one place.”
Yahoo! Screen launched in September 2013.
