"This partnership extends the digital reach of both sides, and allows us to collaborate on the creation of widely-consumed, cross-platform content, particularly around short-form video and fantasy sports."

"We're thrilled to not only continue our relationship with NBC Sports, but also to expand the partnership as we work to bring more premium digital sports content to our users," said Ian Weingarten, SVP of Corporate Development and Partnerships at Yahoo. "The addition of the Premier League and Golf Channel complements the current lineup, and we're excited to extend the reach of NBC Sports content to Yahoo's mobile and Tumblr users."

Additional features of the alliance include:

· Live Sports: Yahoo will continue to offer its users access to NBC Sports' lineup of live streaming properties, including Sunday Night Football, NHL, Notre Dame Football, NASCAR, Premier League, PGA TOUR, LPGA, and others, through NBC Sports Live Extra and Golf Live Extra.

· Rotoworld + Yahoo Fantasy: NBCSports.com's popular digital destination, the web's premier fantasy news and information site, will contribute season-long fantasy content to Yahoo audiences in fantasy football, basketball, baseball, and hockey.

· Golf Channel: The addition of Golf Channel will play a significant editorial role in Yahoo's professional golf coverage.
