Fox to Offer Video on Demand Pre-Air
Fox will offer certain programming to DirectTV subscribers before they even air on the networks. I like how they charge for shows you will get for no additional cost later on.
In an industry first, beginning in March viewers will get a “first look” at prime time hits from FX a full 24-48 hours prior to their initial broadcasts for $2.99 and, later in the year, DIRECTV subscribers will have post-air access to FOX Broadcasting’s hottest series for just 99 cents for six to seven days following their national broadcast. The innovative deal will provide DIRECTV subscribers the ability to choose between pre-air and post-air television programming options for the first time ever.
