Disney, which owns TV channel ABC, is announcing that its two flagships shows will now be streaming for free online. Desperate Housewives and Lost will be streamed from the ABC website with adverts in the middle, and you won’t be able to skip them. ABC is hoping that this will be a new revenue stream for the company, and it already has advertisers including Ford and Unilever signed up for the first run of ads.
I love the word “won’t.”
