Yahoo Finance to launch premium subscription service

Yahoo Finance’s eight-hour video programming will launch on Jan. 7, and it will also start a premium subscription service next year, according to an announcement by its parent company Verizon.

The statement says:

We put Yahoo Finance everywhere our consumers are with content like Women and Money and Personal Finance features and grew our off-network distribution opportunities with partners, such as Apple TV, Roku, YouTube, Twitter and LinkedIn. We will dramatically expand our live market coverage to 8 hours of bell-to-bell coverage beginning on January 7. And we’ll deepen our relationship with members when we officially launch our Yahoo Finance Premium subscription – enabling retail investors to transact on informed investment decisions through access to sophisticated tools, unique proprietary data sets and industry-leading research.
