Veoh, FEARnet Scare Up a Deal

By Daisy Whitney

Video-sharing site Veoh Networks formed a partnership with digital network FEARnet to carry horror and thriller flicks on Veoh’s site.

The two companies will share ad revenues starting next month, when FEARnet launches a branded channel on Veoh featuring popular slasher films like “30 Days of Night: Blood Trails,” “Devil’s Trade” and “Buried Alive.”

FEARnet, the joint venture between Sony Pictures Television, Lionsgate and Comcast, also will develop original programming that will be offered on the Veoh channel.

Veoh said it reaches 23 million viewers each month. FEARnet had previously offered two shows on Veoh that generated more than 1 million views in two weeks, the companies said.
