Slog - Comments on CBS and YouTube Join Forces http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/youtube_and_cbs_have_teamed CBS has made a bold move to drive online viewership by providing full-length television programming via YouTube.

I bet they're working something out with IMAX as we speak.

I am curious as to whether they intend to increase viewer shares around the

"no-peek zones" of
