    Yahoo has some of its own online TV-watching news as well. The company has launched a new Yahoo Screen app for iOS, which lets users browse trending clips, search for shows, and watch online video content.

    The company announced a deal with Viacom to provide clips from Comedy Central shows including The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Yahoo’s previously announced archive of Saturday Night Live clips is available through the app, and the company just launched its Fall 2013 Comedy line-up, which includes five new shows starring John Stamos, Ed Helms, Jack Black, Cheryl Hines and others.
