Warner Bros Offers TV Shows on iTunes

By the Betanews Staff | Published July 26, 2006, 11:21 AM

Warner Bros said Tuesday that it had added several television shows from its library to the iTunes Music Store, including episodes of "Friends," "Babylon 5," sketches from "MADtv" and animated shows including "The Flintstones" and "The Jetsons." As with other shows available through the service, episodes will sell for USD $1.99 each. In addition to Warner's hit shows, it is also making available the pilot of "Aquaman," a show that never made it to air. The show is based on the DC Comic of the same name.

"Making our television content available to iTunes consumers is an important step in our digital distribution strategy," Digital Disribution president Simon Kenny said. The studio has become quite aggressive in its online strategy as of late. In May, it announced a deal to distribute movies and television shows through the BitTorrent download service, and in June announced a similar deal with YouTube competitor Guba.
