CBS, the American television network, has struck a deal to bring you full-length videos of their shows on YouTube.

Earlier this week the announcement was made that you will now be able to catch full-length versions of all of the CBS shows on YouTube, the popular video sharing site.  You will have to watch advertisements before, during and after the show, but they are very minimal compared to what you even see on TV, and for free, on demand programming is certainly worth it.  this deal also includes their daytime soap opera programming.

There is no word if any other deals are pending, but this is certainly an intersting first step for the Google owned YouTube.  Don’t be too surprised if more networks and cable channels join the trend soon.
