BetaNews | ABC Takes Prime Time Shows Online

BetaNews | ABC Takes Prime Time Shows Online

It seems that ABC is taking its shows online for free as part of a two-month trial in May. While some of ABC's shows are already available in digital format though the iTunes Music Store for $1.99 an episode, ABC is looking to an alternative outlet for their TV content. These Flash-formatted TV shows will still include the commercials where the iTMS does not. Interestingly some officials at ABC were upset when iTunes Music Store first made some of their shows available. Perhaps this is their way of taking back what is theirs. Also of note is that Steve Jobs the largest shareholder at Disney which owns ABC with Disney's recent purchase of Pixar Studios.
