Go90, Verizon Communications Inc.’s attempt to attract young mobile-phone viewers and big advertisers with YouTube-like mini dramas and comedy sketches, is shutting down after less than three years.

With the service ending, Oath, the media and advertising unit that’s home to AOL and Yahoo’s online products, will become home for Verizon’s video operations starting June 30, the company said Thursday said in a statement.
