Yahoo Auction Leans Toward Verizon

On the Yahoo side - there’s a collection of content resources as well, such as Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Music, Yahoo Movies, Yahoo Weather, Yahoo News, Yahoo Answers and Yahoo Games. Yahoo commands a huge audience. Nearly 1 billion people visit a Yahoo website every month. And Yahoo Video talent includes a roster of name brand presenters including Katie Couric, Joe Zee, formerly the creative director of Elle; and David Pogue, personal tech author and a former columnist for the New York Times.

“Verizon is looking to the future,” Brett Sappington, director of research of consulting firm Parks Associates told the LA Times. “It’s about being able to create an audience, and increasingly that audience is going to mobile and moving away from traditional forms of media.”
