Yahoo has launched their own Yahoo video site - known as a the Yahoo Current Network - in conjunction with the Current TV network.

Being called by some just “Yahoo TV”, and similar to Google Video, and the wildly popular YouTube (recently aquired by Google) in that users can upload their own content, the Yahoo Current network is being marketed in a decidely more slick and commercial manner.

According to Yahoo:

“The Yahoo! Current Network debuts with four channels on Yahoo! Video that allow users to view and upload videos, participate in rich communities and share their passions. Channels include:

– Yahoo! Current Buzz: A daily feature that reflects what the Yahoo! community is searching for, with segments that showcase the best of what’s buzzing around the world and on the Web. Current Buzz is executive produced by Madeleine Smithberg, the Emmy and Peabody-winning co-creator and former executive producer of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.”

– Yahoo! Current Action: The spot for action sports news and videos, straight from the people who love it and live it.

– Yahoo! Current Driver: The destination for everything automotive from hot rods and classics to tricked-out imports and exotic super cars.

– Yahoo! Current Traveler: A globe-spanning bulletin board of video postcards from people’s greatest adventures.

Each channel will feature a daily selection of the best viewer created video submissions and professionally produced Buzz videos. These featured videos will be programmed into a set of custom branded channels with all content discoverable through Yahoo! Video. Every Monday at 5:00 p.m. PT, the best user created submission from each Yahoo! Current channel will air on Current’s television broadcast and its producer will be paid $500 by Current TV. Additional channels will be launching as part of the Yahoo! Current Network over the next several months, with eight individual channels available by the end of 2007.”
