Soon you will get to watch Desperate Housewives episodes for free over video-on-demand cable services. There is a small catch. Viewers will have to sit through advertisements without being able to fast forward them.
“We’re trying to drive everyone back to television but very much understand that with everybody’s lifestyles, they can’t necessarily watch that way and we don’t want to lose them altogether,” Disney spokeswoman Karen Hobson said.
Under the deal, affiliates will be able to sell one 30-second ad on the content, while ABC will sell from four to nine other commercials to national advertisers. So, instead of about 17 minutes worth of commercials on regular TV, viewers will se 2 to 5 minutes worth of commercials. Not bad.
