Disney and ABC First Up for Apple’s Video iPod

October 13th, 2005

Missed this week’s Desperate Housewives and Lost episodes? Viewers can now download those ABC shows, as well as select Disney Channel shows, to PCs and new Apple Computer Inc. video “iPod” devices as part of a groundbreaking distribution deal between The Walt Disney Co. and Apple, announced Wednesday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Apple — through its iTunes Music Store — will sell episodes of Housewives, Lost and new series The Night Stalker one day after they appear on ABC for $1.99 each, Disney executives said. Viewers will also have access to the prior seasons of both shows, which are currently out on DVD.

In addition, episodes of Disney Channel’s popular tween series, That’s So Raven and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, will be available for purchase. As seen at: Disney First Up for Apple’s Video ‘iPod’

The San Jose Mercury News also writes that you’ll be able to download Pixar shorts from the iTunes Music Store too.
