Fox To Put TV Shows on MySpace, Affiliates

By Geoff Duncan Published October 3, 2006

News Corp. today announced a new digital video service dubbed Fox on Demand, which will make full episodes of select Fox television programming available via Fox’s hot online property MySpace as well as the Web sites of two dozen local Fox affiliate stations after the shows are first broadcast. Shows will be available in their entirety on an ad-supported basis; programming to be made available via the sites includes Fox shows Bones,Prison Break,Standoff,Vanished,Talk Show with Spike Feresten,Til Death,The Loop, and Justice. Other shows may appear throughout October and November.

The move is a way for Fox to maintain some interest in its original primetime programming while the network defers to Major League Baseball playoffs and (eventually) the World Series, which will disrupt broadcast schedules; Fox will promote the online availability of its shows during MLB broadcasts.

“Offering free access to FOX programming online during the MLB primetime take-over demonstrates the tremendous value that may be realized through a smart digital distribution strategy for premium content,” said Peter Levinsohn, Fox Entertainment Group’s President of Digital Media. “The FIM network of sites and particularly MySpace, combined with our local television sites, provide the optimal platform for maintaining momentum with our existing audience and also attracting new viewers.”

I used CamelCamelCamel to check if these are the best deal prices for Black Friday (they are)

You may or may not know this, but certain online retailers and various small brands will actually increase prices before a huge sale, like early Black Friday sales, actual Black Friday, or even Cyber Monday and Cyber Week. Let's say, for example, they discount the product by $20. Weeks before, they might raise the price by $30 to make the discount look bigger. So, the reality is you're not actually getting a great deal -- they trick you. There is a way to combat this and find the best early Black Friday deals and beyond. There's a tool I use called CamelCamelCamel, which works wonders to help you find the real deals and steals. Well, anyway, I used the tool to find the best deal prices for Black Friday, and the holiday discounts. Let's take a closer look at some of those deals. Spoiler: They're so, so good.
