YouTube Starts Streaming Full-Length TV Shows
In its short, three-year 
history, YouTube has used its short-form videos to build itself into the biggest player in the online video world. Strictly 10-minutes-or-less had been the rule for video length. But recently, the site has been straying away from that limitation, and now is fully taking a step toward lengthier content, by signing a deal with CBS to stream full episodes of TV shows on the site.
YouTube's full-length CBS offerings launched over the weekend. Shows include classic series like 'MacGyver' and 'Start Trek' as well as edited versions of racier shows such as 'Californication' and 'Dexter from CBS-owned premium channel Showtime. YouTube has been having problems of late selling ads on its shorter videos, which is presumably one of the reasons why it's made the switch to show more advertiser-friendly long-form content.
We took a quick look and the quality of the video is high. Plus, you can watch this stuff on cell phones and iPhones (for free), which makes it a bit more attractive than, say, a site like NBC's Hulu, which is inaccessible to most cell phones. [From: YouTube via The New York Times]
