“YouTube, the largest video-sharing website, will show full-length television shows and films from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s archives in its latest step to boost advertising revenue by adding professional programing, the company told Reuters on Sunday,” Jui Chakravorty Das and Yinka Adegoke report for Reuters.

“The site, owned by Google Inc, plans to make the announcement about the new partnership on Monday,” Das and Adegoke report.

“MGM Studios will kick off the partnership by posting episodes of its decade-old ‘American Gladiators’ program to YouTube on one channel,” Das and Adegoke report. “On another channel, MGM will post full-length action films like ‘Bulletproof Monk’ and ‘The Magnificent Seven’ and clips from popular movies like ‘Legally Blonde.’”

Das and Adegoke report, “YouTube in October forged a similar partnership with CBS Corp to run full-length archived shows.”
