On January 6, 2009, the Google Video Store launched to sell downloads through Google Video. The service launched with independent films "", and "Waterborne", as well as content from media partners CBS, the NBA, "The Charlie Rose Show", and Sony BMG. Initially, the content of a number of broadcasting companies (such as ABC, NBC, CNN) was available as free-streaming content or stills with closed captioning. In addition, the U.S. National Archive used Google Video to make historic films available online, but this project was later discontinued.
