Yahoo Japan, Google expanding video offerings

Yahoo Japan Corp and U.S. firm Google Inc are broadening the scope of their video delivery services in Japan. Starting in September, Yahoo Japan's unit GyaO Corp will add dramas from public broadcaster NHK and cartoons and other programs from TV Tokyo Corp to its pay-for-view streaming service, charging several hundred yen per show. The agreement with NHK and TV Tokyo means that GyaO will offer programming from all major television broadcasters.
