CBS and YouTube: Some stats

Female Jackie D | Category: TV • Web

Here's what happened when CBS stopped worrying that YouTube was going to "steal" their viewers, and embraced the video-sharing site:

They uploaded 300 clips, which got 29.2 million views in a month, averaging 857,000 per day. They also note an increase in audience for shows that are doing well on YouTube: David Letterman up 200,000, Craig Ferguson up 100,000.

Gosh, you mean that the web can actually promote offline business? Who'da thunk it? (Try a hell of a lot of people, who have been beating this drum for years.)
