ABC News has reached a new and expanded deal with Yahoo that will add a Yahoo branded segment to Good Morning America and make clips of ABC's top entertainment properties, including Scandal and Jimmy Kimmel Live, available on the site.

The GMA segment, Yahoo Your Day, will each day feature Yahoo editors and experts, including style editor Joe Zee, beauty editor Bobbi Brown and food editor Kerry Diamond. Flickr images will be integrated into GMA weather reports, and Tumblr will be featured in the morning show’s Social Square.

The companies also will develop a more robust partnership on major news events, including the 2016 presidential election. Interestingly, content from Katie Couric, who left ABC News last year and joined Yahoo as its global news anchor, will be distributed across ABC News.

More to come...
