More than 200 Fox affiliates will soon offer visitors to their websites the option to stream or download selected Fox television programs.
Last August, Fox began to stream programs from the websites of stations owned and operated by the network, but this is the first time local stations will be given the opportunity to provide content from any network. The stations will split the revenue generated with the network, and will be allowed to place local advertisements in the web streams.
In addition to streaming TV episodes for free, affiliate stations will begin selling downloaded episodes of programs including 24, Prison Break, and Bones, probably for $1.99 per episode and $30 to $40 for a full season.
