BT Vision announces on-demand deal with Disney’s ABC

BT Vision is to show new episodes of popular shows from ABC TV, such as Private Practice and Desperate Housewives, through a new ABC-branded video-on-demand service.

The new service will be the first Disney channel on-demand launch outside the US, although a similar deal with Apple TV is believed to be underway.

BT Vision’s service will launch on 15 September as part of its £6.99 per month TV Pack.

Viewers will also be able to watch individual episodes from 99p.

Classic programmes such as Lost and Grey’s Anatomy will also be available.
