Similar to Hulu.com, which is an online network TV syndication service co-owned by NBC, Fox and ABC TV networks, Vevo.com is a syndicated online music video service and Google’s YouTube will be one of its syndicated partners. It was also reported that EMI Music is onboard, and talks with Warner Music (the last of the big four music companies) are currently pending.

Note that both Hulu and Vevo are only available in the United States (and Canada in Vevo’s case).
