With Netflix losing customers left and right and Hulu in a bit of a holding pattern with a long-discussed sale yet to happen, the market for streaming content seems ripe for competition. Yahoo, still somehow profitable despite Geocities being a helluva long time ago, has decided to try to corner the market with their own video hub, Screen.

Having hooked up with ABC News for its own news content earlier this week, expect some ABC exclusives to hit Screen, too.
