If you can't get to a television, Viacom is looking to make it easier for you to stream some of its programming over the Internet.

The media giant has a deal to license television shows and movies to an online video sharing service called Joost. Joost is described as still in beta, or in testing with limited public access.

Viacom's MTV, Nickelodeon and BET networks and Paramount studios will provide shows and movies to the new service.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Viacom recently told YouTube to take unauthorized clips off its hugely popular video-sharing site.

Programs involved include Real World, Beavis and Butthead, Punk'd, My Super Sweet Sixteen Stella, and Freak Show.
