Watch Full Length CBS Shows on YouTube
YouTube the world’s largest online video sharing website will start showing full length CBS shows from CBS corporation archive. Google is also talking to several other media companies to show their full length media content on YouTube. Currently users from around the globe share short clips on YouTube. Star Trek, The Young & The Restless, and Beverley Hills 90210 will now be available in full-length episodes of 20 minutes to 48 minutes.
CBS already offers full-length versions of many of its popular shows like CSI on its own website. I think this move from CBS to show full length video on YouTube is due to the fact that YouTube is the place where most of the internet users come to watch video online.
YouTube executives said
CBS would sell the advertisements around the shows. Both companies will share advertising revenue, but financial terms of the relationship were not disclosed. CBS could not immediately be reached for comment.
Hulu is another online video sharing website offers full length shows from News Corp’s Fox networks, NBC and CBS.

The shows named in the reuter’s article dont interest me a bit. I was hoping to see HIMYM and other recent shows.
