ABC Television will be making four shows produced by Warner Bros. available on the network's web-based media player.
Shows the network produces for itself are already featured on ad supported site. It was the first broadcast network to make its prime time shows available this way.
The deal gives ABC rights to stream episodes from the Warner shows "Men in Trees", "Notes from the Underbelly", "Big Shots", and "Pushing Daisies," keeping all the ad revenue for themselves. After the initial year, Warner can stream programs from the previous year themselves, in addition to distributing them on other media like DVD.
Episodes will be available on ABC's site for up to four weeks after airing on the network.
