Despite having a digital-music service that competes directly with iTunes, MTV Networks has decided to offer several more of its TV shows through Apple’s music store. The MTV programming includes shows from Spike TV, Nick at Nite, TV Land, and The N.
Spicing up the menu of choices available on iTunes are programs that include MTV’s “Viva La Bam,” TV Land’s “Sit Down Comedy with David Steinberg,” The N’s “Beyond the Break,” Nick at Nite’s “Fatherhood,” and Spike TV’s new sci-fi action show “Blade: The Series.”
Like the other television content avaiable through iTunes, the new MTV offerings will be available for the customary per-episode price of $1.99.
Apple has called iTunes the “world’s most popular online video store,” and with good reason. More than 150 TV shows are available for purchase on iTunes, and, to date, the site has sold more than 35 million videos.
