YouTube Adds Freemantle Content [NewTeeVee]
GigaOM Network — ... and Atomic Wedgie. This deal continues YouTube’s push into the premium content space as the company tries to monetize its massive audience. Advertisers have been reluctant to buy spots alongside some of the amateurish and sometimes offensive UGC content that is so prevalent on YouTube. In order to change that, the video giant has been locking up deals with CBS to offer full-length episodes of TV programs and MGM to offer full-length movies on the site. The question now is, as YouTube acquires more and more premium ...

The Full Monty: Python Sales Boom Thanks To YouTube [NewTeeVee Station]
GigaOM Network — ... competitors include two DVD packages of perennially-popular TV series 24, the new release of Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work, and one of the most popular films of the year, The Dark Knight. Monty Python, on the other hand, hasn’t released any new material since 1983. Every lumberjack thinks this business move is OK.

Like the pimply-faced teen wearing his first tux for prom, YouTube is also cleaning up its act to persuade Madison Ave. that the site is advertiser-friendly. After all, the company needs to start monetizing those 344 million global uniques. The vestiges of the Wild, Wild West, video free-for-all that YouTube once was are disappearing, making room for professional content such as that of networks, full-length films, and a even a high-falutin’ classical music contest. Even the ...

Google to Connect TV Ads With YouTube [NewTeeVee]
GigaOM Network — ... YouTube hasn’t fared too well on the ad front either, hampered by content with which many advertisers don’t want to be associated. The Journal points out that in order for this to work, YouTube needs to get more longer-form content, during which audiences are more tolerant of commercials. YouTube was on a bit of a premium ...
