Report: BBC to sell shows through iTunes

Filed under: business — Tags: , , — Sun @ 12:23 am

The British Broadcasting Corp. plans to use Apple Inc.'s iTunes shop to sell television shows over the Internet, according to a report Tuesday.

The Wall Street Journal said the BBC could expand the arrangement if the initial test is successful.

Most BBC shows can currently be dowloaded free in the U.K. for one week after they initially appear on television, the Journal reported payday loans.

Cupertino-based Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iTunes will offer about 10 different drama and comedy shows to begin with, the Journal said, and the deal was negotiated with the BBC's commercial arm, BBC Worldwide.
