BBC to Sell Shows Through ITunes

[zekrahminator]

It seems that the popularity of using iTunes as a distribution medium is increasing. Any titles, shows or movies that are owned by BBC Worldwide will begin showing up on iTunes pretty quickly. Episodes are £1.89 each, and discounts will be available on entire series. The BBC is taking this extremely seriously, and have dug up some old favorites to shove on iTunes. Such classic hits as "Life on Mars" and "Little Britain" will be available. Neither Apple nor the BBC will confirm the exact business transaction that allowed iTunes to sell BBC content. This is the latest partnership the BBC has announced. The BBC is also distributing their stuff via YouTube and MySpace. When asked why the BBC is doing this, BBC spokespeople told everyone that they want to make sure all their fans with iPods have ample opportunity to enjoy their programming.
