Many have missed the YouTube angle, which is key. There is likely to be more truth than fiction to the rumours, actually. My company, Real Fresh TV, has been in talks with YouTube and a number of online publishers including Bebo and Brightcove regarding distributing T-Mobile UK’s branded late night music TV show, Transmission with T-Mobile online and on multiple digital platforms. Acts and celebrities featured on Transmission with T-Mobile include Scissor Sisters, Queens of the Stone Age, Yoko Ono and Samuel L. Jackson and more. Whilst Transmission with T-Mobile is in a different league to mega TV hits like the Pop Idol/American Idol franchise, the ‘Google-Fuller’ rumours indicate that Google-YouTube is quietly growing its catalogue of professional content.

The story then is trumped a month later by another one, and slowly makes it's way into the "PR to drive up Stock Price" grave yard. or Fuller has a show where monkeys karaoke, and 3 minute clips will be posted to YouTube so we can find the 1st "Monkey Idol".

I don't even know what that sentence means. Is there some entity named "looking globally" that has become successful in TV? And is this entity a "he"? I would think "looking globally" would be some transgender dude. “Fuller is the United Kingdom’s Mark Burnett, but looking globally is more successful in TV, ignoring his success in music as well.”
