<P> A multi-channel network (MCN) is an organization that works with video platforms such as YouTube, to offer assistance to a channel owner in areas such as "product, programming, funding, cross-promotion, partner management, digital rights management, monetization / sales, and / or audience development" in exchange for a percentage of the ad revenue from the channel . </P> <P> The name Multi-channel Network has only recently begun to be standard, coined by former YouTube employee Jed Simmons (reportedly because of YouTube's distaste for the notion of "networks .") Prior to 2014 many names were used by the different companies, including Online Video Studio, Internet Television Company, ITC, OVS, YouTube Network or simply Network . </P>
