Vevo, the highly anticipated music video site, now has a launch date. It’s set to go live on the evening of Dec. 8, the site said a few minutes ago via Twitter. The announcement comes a day after Hulu said it too would make a foray into the music video space, with a deal to put up some music videos from EMI on its site. Vevo, a joint venture between some of the big labels and YouTube, will feature music videos from Sony (NYSE: SNE) and Universal on its own site and also on a new Vevo channel on YouTube. It’s already landed at least one launch sponsor: AT&T (NYSE: T). When the site was initially announced back in April, the companies said it would launch later this year, so this means it’s apparently on schedule.
Staci adds: Here’s the e-mail that just arrived from Team Vevo (five exclamation points, one emoticon):
