Yahoo announces new Yahoo! Screen media hub app

PanARMENIAN.Net - Yahoo! has announced a new app called Yahoo! Screen, which acts as a hub for all of the company's media content. The app is the latest in the line of mobile app initiatives at the company as it seeks to redefine its image and up its offerings, TUAW reports.

With Yahoo Screen, users can watch any of Yahoo!'s media from one central location. The app also features a pretty cool gesture-base control that allows you to change channels by swiping up or down and to go from one show's episode to the next by swiping left or right.

Yahoo! Screen isn't just for Yahoo!'s content either. The company has partnered with Viacom to bring clips from some of its shows to the app, starting with The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Some full shows are also available, including Ghost Ghirls and Losing It With John Stamos. As for Yahoo!'s video content, users can expect to find video from Major League Baseball, UFC, The Onion, Martha Stewart, and more, TUAW says.

Yahoo! Screen is a free download.
