ABC shows coming to Comcast VOD
Cory Bergman November 20th, 2006
Comcast is expected to announce a deal with Disney to offer some of ABC’s top shows on video on demand for free, reports the Wall Street Journal. Desperate Housewives, Lost and World News with Charles Gibson are among the VOD shows, as well as selected programs from ESPN, the Disney Channel and Toon Disney. But to keep affiliates happy, the ABC shows will only be available in markets where the network owns a station. (CBS is the only other network to offer its primetime shows on VOD for free, but again, only in markets where the network owns a station.) Also, Disney has agreed to release new movies on VOD within 15 days after the respective DVDs go on sale. (WSJ sub. req.)

Umm, I get both CBS and NBC on my Comcast InDemand, and my local (D.C.) CBS station is owned by Gannett. The shows are shown for free, but with ads, though fewer ads than the prime-time broadcast.

I always have terrible trouble with comment-related plugins that require me to put some line in the comment loop; I can never seem to find the right spot. Can anyone tell me where I should put the php line in my comments loop? I haven not modified anything much, and I would be very grateful. Thanks!
