Disney to Deliver TV Shows to iTunes

This is pretty big news. According to Reuters UK:

Opening the door to a new revenue stream for television content, the Walt Disney Co. said on Wednesday it will begin offering next-day digital downloads of its biggest ABC prime time hits for $1.99 per episode.

The article continues:

As part of that collaboration, commercial free episodes of two of U.S. television's highest rated shows -- ABC's "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" -- will be available for download from Apple's iTunes online music store a day after their network broadcast. Last season's episodes will be available for download immediately.

Viewers will then be able to watch the shows at their leisure on the new video playing iPods and newly upgraded iMac computers unveiled by Apple on Wednesday.

It's not going to be long till television viewing is completely portable (at a cost of course!).
