ABC and ESPN have struck a deal with online video provider Veoh Networks to make full episodes and clips available on Veoh.com from programs including "Lost," "Desperate Housewives," "Pardon the Interruption," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "Ugly Betty," "SportCenter Right Now," "Mike and Mike in the Morning" and "Around the Horn."
At Veoh.com, viewers can access ABC and ESPN channels through tabs located on the homepage or through the site’s video search. The shows will be delivered via ABC.com’s broadband player.
"This deal expands the distribution of our quality programming through our own broadband players, growing the reach of our advertisers while maintaining their direct association with our powerful network brands," Matt Murphy, SVP/digital video distribution for Disney and ESPN Media Networks, said in a statement. Users will also be able to share video links from full episodes through e-mail and embed links onto other sites later this year.
