Network Ten tiptoes into show downloads

by andrew pascoe on September 5th, 2006

Thank God You’re Here, the Working Dog theatre sports-style comedy that is coming back to TV on Ten for a second season, will be Ten’s first longer term foray at downloadable TV eps:

Each download will run for up to eight minutes and will be exclusively sponsored by Hungry Jack’s.

It will be available at midnight on the day of broadcast and will comprise of a 15-second Network Ten promo, followed by the best Thank God You’re Here segment of the week, and finish with a 30-second Hungry Jack’s ad.

The segments will be streamed or available for download. The article mentions the downloads will be able to watched anywhere such as iPods and PSPs, so presumably its all DRM-free.
