Apple has
opened its iTunes television programme service in the UK, allowing users to buy
individual shows in the same way as songs and movies.
The company will initially offer 28 UK and US shows from
ABC,
Disney,
MTV,
Nickelodeon
and
Paramount
Comedy. Apple hopes to expand the content following the launch.
The downloads will be priced at £1.89 per episode in the UK and will be
playable through iTunes on a Mac, PC, iPod and AppleTV.
Television programmes have been available from the
iTunes store since
2005 in the US, where users pay only $1.99 per episode.
By the beginning of this year, more than 50 million shows had been downloaded
through the service.
The announcement comes just one week before Apple is scheduled to hold a
special
event in San Francisco, at which the company is widely expected to unveil a
new line of iPod media players.
