YouTube, the world's biggest video-sharing website has announced an agreement to show some full-length television shows and films from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios.
The partnership between the companies kicks off with MGM posting episodes of its decade-old "American Gladiators" program, along with full-length action films like "Bulletproof Monk" and "The Magnificent Seven," as well as clips from popular movies like "Legally Blonde." Ads will be running alongside the video.
Experts say the agreement puts Google's YouTube in more direct competition with commercial video site Hulu.
According to Nielsen, about 81 million people visited YouTube in September alone.
