Terry Semel advised executives at the UK’s Royal Television Society 2005, to get their old programs indexed by Yahoo’s video search crawler.


Terry Semel spoke at an exclusive media event held in Cambridge, the UK’s Royal Television Society (RTS) 2005 convention, and advised the executives to get their archives indexed by Yahoo’s video search crawler.

He said, “Video search is a way to monetize some of the stuff that’s lounging around in warehouses and hasn’t made a dime for years”.

He also said, “I don’t think that Yahoo or any other Internet company should try to become a television network. We will be nowhere if we have to create our own content”.
