Yahoo! Screen, Yahoo’s jump into streaming video, is now gone. Yahoo! has confirmed via Variety that the service has seen its last days, all but confirming our biggest fears that “Other Space” will not be given a second season anytime soon, at least not through the search company’s services.
Yahoo! Screen played host to the final season of the axed NBC comedy “Community,” giving the show and its fans a send-off that was relatively well-received. However, the service recently wrote off a $42 million loss, all but ensuring its inevitable demise.
No word as to whether or not this service’s cancellations will have any bearing on Yahoo’s attempt to proactively bid on more live streams of NFL games, but we doubt it will have too much of an effect, as live sports currently fall under a different Yahoo! umbrella.
Content once hosted on Yahoo! Screen has been moved to their Digital Magazine, where their original shows and video content are currently hosted. In other words, at least for the time being, “Community” “Other Space” and “Sin City Saints” won’t be outright deleted, but there’s no time like the present to get watching if you had any intention of doing so (seriously, go watch “Other Space”).
