The New York Times reports that “Yahoo, in its first big move into original online video programming, is betting that war and conflict will lure new viewers”.

Lloyd Braun, the former chairman of ABC’s entertainment group who now oversees Yahoo’s expanded media group in Santa Monica, has hired Kevin Sites, a veteran television correspondent, to produce a multimedia Web site that will report on wars around the world.

The Web site, called “Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone” (hotzone.yahoo.com) will focus entirely on Mr. Sites’s travels as a war correspondent and will use nearly every kind of format the Internet allows. His reports will begin Sept. 26.
