With TV screens and social networking in mind, the music video site VEVO has launched a significant redesign. The new VEVO features a bigger player, continuous playback of videos and personalized playlists synched with user iTunes libraries and Facebook pages. VEVO, which is co-owned by Sony Music and Universal Music, debuted the new design Friday. Michael Cerda, senior vice president of product at VEVO, said VEVO is planning to do “a lot” to migrate to TV screens, a prospect that will likely further comparisons of VEVO — in its focus on videos and live performance — to a young MTV. VEVO is currently piped to TVs via Boxee and Google TV, but Cerda said VEVO will soon be connected to “other connected devices” like the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation. In January, VEVO had about 717 million streams, according to ComScore.
