MGM announced Monday it has partnered with Google’s (GOOG) YouTube to show a selection of full-length MGM films and television shows on the site for free.

“Our agreement with YouTube opens the door to a number of themed broadband channels that will both serve the consumers' growing appetite for entertainment media consumption in the digital space and ‘on demand’ space,” said Jim Packer, co-president of MGM Worldwide Television.

Two new ad-supported MGM “channels” will be added to the YouTube Web site, which will allow users to watch television shows, such as “American Gladiators,” as well as popular full-length movies, from “Rocky” to “Legally Blonde.”

An American Gladiators channel will be devoted completely to this TV show, while Impact will show a selection of MGM’s action films. Impact is based on an on-demand cable service available to Comcast (CMCSA) subscribers. MGM said it plans to launch more YouTube channels soon.

New films and TV shows will be added each month.
