Goodbye, Yahoo Screen: Yahoo axes video service

Yahoo has axed its on-demand streaming service Yahoo Screen after just two years, Mashable has confirmed.

The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based tech company launched the service in 2013 in hopes of competing with other streaming giants in the industry.

The platform once featured everything from Saturday Night Live clips to a slate of original programs, including the sixth season of the former NBC comedy Community. Now, people who go to Yahoo Screen's website (https://screen.yahoo.com/) are redirected to the Yahoo homepage.

"At Yahoo, we’re constantly reviewing and iterating on our products as we strive to create the best user experience," a Yahoo spokesperson said in an email statement sent to Mashable.
