Fox strikes deal for free shows on iTunes
It's free download week! Following moves by NBC and ABC,
it seems Fox is following the trend -- but not really. The freebies will be a set
of season premieres, and will only be for the next two weeks.
The Los Angeles Times reported Friday that Fox and Apple have reached an agreement to offer free downloads of the shows Fox is trying to promote this sweeps season: that is, the ones people aren't watching as much as they'd like. No Simpsons or Family Guy clips are among the five shows currently available for free on the iTunes Store. But episodes of shows sure to be forgotten in the sands of time, like Back To You, Til' Death and K-Ville, are currently available for free at the iTunes Store.

Interesting promotional move, but not all that exciting, as it's only for the premieres. The good thing, however, is that the downloads will be ad-free, unlike the NBC and ABC shows.
