Yahoo has the Hollywood connections but Google Video gets a boost of publicity and content today from a deal with the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation to showcase the Emmy foundation’s Archive of American Television. The archive includes 284 in-depth interviews with a “who’s who” from every aspect of television. The first 75 interviews—about 240 hours—are available now.

Foundation chairman Steve Mosko calls it “a perfect marriage of irreplaceable content and one of the most powerful delivery systems in the world.” Press release
