Yahoo With Samsung And Vizio Planned To Restructure TV Viewing

A new plan by the Yahoo to restructure the way currently public watch the TV, which has already been signed by TV makers Samsung and Vizio as partners, may not include cable TV companies.

The company CEO Marissa Mayer, unveiled “Yahoo Smart TV” during her keynote address at Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. Just like Netflix and Hulu it’s an application sitting inside other companies’ TV menu guides, rather than just a television set.

Its a Smart TV so, it jus knows and learns what you want to watch by gathering your viewing habits and that makes it different. Crucially, the guide offers you shows that are both on and off cable, including material from YouTube and other web video sources.

“It has truly exceptional recommendations. You really do need a guide to bring everything to you in one place,” said Yahoo’s Adam Cahan, svp/mobile and emerging products, during Mayer’s big speech. “It’s learning from what you watch.”

There is a bad time for cable operators, as Yahoo has already struck deals for its inclusion on TVs made by Samsung and Vizio. According to the reports these two companies supply 65% of the new TV sets in the U.S. market.
