Troubled search engine Yahoo has closed Yahoo Screen, the two-year-old portal designed to bring together its original and syndicated programming.
Originally reported by Variety, Yahoo Screen was the baby of chief executive Marissa Mayer. It had variously carried live sports and original content that included former NBC comedy Community.
Visitors to the Yahoo Screen portal are being redirected and the content itself spread across Yahoo’s various properties including Yahoo Music and Yahoo TV.
But it seems likely the budget for original content will be reduced amid rumours that Mayer is now seeking a buyer for Yahoo’s core business.
