    Yahoo! Was brought out by Seven West Media (Channel 7 and Prime 7) and became Yahoo7. It has Australian based services and you can watch TV on Yahoo7

    Both companies are in conjuction with television networks. Channel 7 (Yahoo)and Channel 9(MSN). I think it could be a coincedence or they may be batteling against each other.

    Both 7 and 9 are Australian commercial TV networks. the 7 network works in with Yahoo and the 9 network with MSN.

    They have similar arrangements in the US too ... for example - msNBC
