News Corp. and NBC have announced a deal to create a new video distribution site, dubbed the "YouTube killer" by many. The companies have also formed partnerships with a number of big players, including Yahoo!, Microsoft, and Time Warner/AOL to supply content and provide distribution channels. The service, which currently does not have a name, will launch this summer with a number of TV shows and movie content.

Theoretically YouTube and this thing don't have the same market niche, so I doubt it will be the "YouTube killer" they think it will be. Never know though I guess.
