Many thanks to the hordes who have so far responded
I think I have found the main answer
In the wiki I noted that
"Warner Music G roup was initially reported to be considering hosting its content on VEVO but subsequently formed a rival alliance with MTV Networks"
Hence I suspect that GL will be included in whatever Youtube/Vevo equivalent website emerges from that alliance which is presumably the subject of this News Release
apparently dated as long ago as September 2005

"A music industry source said that Warner Music had spoken to music video portal Vevo about the possibility of that service selling Warner's ads"
and
"Warner Music is the only one of the four major record companies that has declined to join Vevo"
