Disney-ABC Television Group and AOL announced the availability of full-length episodes of popular primetime shows on AOL Video. Delivered via a co-branded version of ABC.com’s broadband player, full episodes of ABC programs are available today and beginning next week will feature ABC’s new fall lineup of programming. The agreement marks the first time ABC’s primetime programming has been made available on a major portal and is also the first time a major portal has offered a full feature version of a broadcast network’s online video player.
Additionally, the two companies will team to offer select short form programming from ABC via an embedded short-form player, which will debut on AOL later this year. The short-form programming featured on the embedded player will include both original and derivative content from ABC.
