After a reported 76 million visits and almost two years of near-daily shows, Yahoo!’s entrée into the online, pop culture newscast calls it quits. Any traffic to the The 9 – which featured the smiling face of child television–reporter-star, Maria Sansone counting down 9 items of must-see internet ephemera – now redirects to Primetime in No Time – Yahoo’s daily The Soup-style recap of last night’s television.
Rocketboom creator Andrew Baron never thought too highly of the show – “Yahoo 9 was really the worst online video show I have ever seen” – but it wasn’t that bad. I didn’t watch often, but when I did I appreciated Maria’s enthusiastic presentation and especially the choose-your-own news functionality.
