Continuing to bolster its streaming library, Amazon snagged streaming rights for Disney-ABC television shows Monday. The content company also re-upped streaming rights with Netflix, which has suffered subscriber losses, plummeting stock prices and customer discontent lately. Adding Disney-ABC shows to Amazon’s online offering gives the Netflix competitor more firepower to possibly snare some customers away from Netflix on the streaming front. Amazon said the deal expands its Prime Instant video library to 800 Disney-ABC titles, such as ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy and Disney Channel’s Phineas & Ferb. Amazon expects to count nearly 13,000 movies and TV shows in its streaming library shortly, while Netflix boasts more than 51,000.
As part of its new original content initiative, YouTube has added Hearst and FremantleMedia to its mix of producers. The video site announced a new original channels project late last week that will include videos from My Damn Channel, EQAL and others. Plus, the well-known reality and game-show producers Fremantle will join the mix with a Pets & Animals channel. Fremantle has been a YouTube partner for several years with more than 50 channels already on the video site. Also, Hearst Magazines will develop two new channels for the YouTube initiative, relying on its experts from Car and Driver, Road & Track, and Popular Mechanics for the Automotive channel and Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, Seventeen, and Realbeauty.com for the Fashion and Beauty channel. Both channels will launch in 2012.
Matchbin acquired Navteq Broadcast Media and closed a $22 million round of financing from investors including Level Equity, Greycroft Partners and vSpring Capital.

Presidential candidates should have a social media following and should use it, according to a Digitas poll of social media users. The ad agency found that six of ten social media users want candidates to be on social platforms, and about four in ten say the information found on those platforms from candidates will help determine their voting choices.
Nickelodeon’s Spongebob Squarepants surpassed Fox’s The X Factor and MTV’s Jersey Shore in social buzz for the week ending Oct. 30, according to the latest data from social tracking service Social Guide.

MovieTracker will soon be available across MTV.com and VH1.com , the company said.
