Walt Disney and YouTube have signed a new deal to allow Disney to launch its own channels on the video sharing website.

Highlights from Disney's ESPN sports channel and clips from its TV shows will be made available to watch over the next couple of months.

A key part of the agreement is that Disney will have the right to put adverts in its output.

YouTube is keen to be seen as an outlet for high quality video.

In a statement, a Disney spokesperson said the deal offers "the opportunity to reach a broader, online audience as well as extend the reach of our advertisers".

YouTube is by far the world's most popular video sharing website.

However, it's coming under more pressure from Google to start converting its huge user numbers into cash. http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/entertainment/newsid_7976000/7976838.stm

If I'm not mistaken, which I probably am, Google owns YouTube, and YouTube pays people to get visitors to their site. If you're a director on YouTube, you get paid for every view on your videos.

At least you're being realistic and going for an ugly celebrity unlike the ones who think the likes of Cheryl Cole or Angelina Jolie are tangible.
