The UK's iPod owners will soon be able to download a selection of the best US television programmes from iTunes.
Apple announced yesterday it had signed a deal to make 28 shows from the ABC Studios, Disney Channel, MTV, Nickelodeon and Paramount Comedy networks available via the UK version of iTunes for £1.89 per episode.
Among the hit shows on offer are South Park, Lost, Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty, Pimp My Ride, SpongeBob SquarePants and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, but Eddy Cue, Apple's vice president of iTunes, said the selection is just the beginning.
"We're thrilled to bring TV programming to the iTunes store in the UK. We've got 28 shows and expect to continue to add more great programming," said Mr Cue.
Meanwhile, the nominations for the BT Digital Music Awards 2007, also unveiled yesterday, see iTunes facing competition from eMusic, 7digital, Beatport and Bleep in the best music store category.
