SNL opens official YouTube channel for all markets except US

It’s official. Saturday Night Live is now on YouTube for all markets except the U.S. to help promote and potentially land syndication deals outside its current availability in 170 countries.

The U.S.-exclusion is a result of a one-year deal between Broadway Video, SNL’s production company, and Yahoo! to allow exclusive streaming access of the show’s clips on the site.
