video Web site

YouTube, the biggest online video Web site, has been missing much of the action as studios move full-length TV shows and movies to the Web. But this may be changing: YouTube announced Monday that movie studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) will show some of its archive on the popular video site.

The fare will be free for viewers, accompanied by ads. Initial titles from MGM include episodes of the American Gladiators TV series, full-length films such as Bulletproof Monk and The Magnificent Seven, and clips from movies like Legally Blonde.
