| FOX to Extend Network Programming Fox Broadcasting Company, Fox Interactive Media and Twentieth Century Fox Film have unveiled a landmark plan to extend FOX television programming to its affiliate Web sites, enabling more than 200 broadcast network affiliates to offer their local viewers the ability to watch or buy some of FOX's shows, including "24", "Bones", "Prison Break" and more. Under the terms of the deal struck with the FOX affiliate Board of Governors, Fox Broadcasting Company, Fox Interactive Media, Twentieth Century Fox Film and the local affiliates will share both transactional and advertising revenues. Programming will be delivered via "FOX on Demand", the company's leading video distribution platform. To date, "FOX on Demand" has offered an ad-supported, streaming-only platform; now, it will enable visitors to purchase television shows for play on the go on a computer or portable device. "FOX on Demand's" new commerce functionality is powered by FIM's Direct2Drive digital retail store, which also offers top-selling video games, blockbuster movies, anime and more. The lineup of shows currently available on "FOX on Demand" includes "24", "Bones", "Prison Break", "Standoff", "Vanished", "Talkshow With Spike Feresten", "'Til Death", "The Loop", "War at Home", "American Dad" and "The Winner" debuting this weekend with continuous updates and exclusive premieres. New episodes will be available to watch and stream in high quality video or buy and download the night after they air on TV. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
