Youtube planning to launch new vision for TV on the web

So over the next six months Youtube is planning to launch a new TV service, to change the somewhat grim idea of internet TV thus far.  Plans are for it to comprise of over 100 channels, and contain it's own producers, publishers and programmers.

This is to be part of a feature in next week's New Yorker where John Seabrook will be taking a look at the history of YouTube and it's strategy for the future.  Seabrooks also writes about VP of content at Google and Head of content at Youtube Robert Kyncl, who is spearheading what is described as the biggest change in television since the cable company led upheaval in the 80s broadcast industry, describing him as "architect of the single largest cultural transformation in YouTube's history."
