Warner Bros will offer 150 TV episodes through iTunes

Warner Bros has announced plans to make content from its television library available for purchase and download on Apple's iTunes music store.

Content includes popular sitcom Friends, sci-fi epic Babylon 5 and some of the most popular sketches from MADtv, as well as animated classics including The Jetsons and The Flintstones.

ITunes will offer over 150 episodes of the TV shows for $1.99 per episode for viewing on a computer or iPod.

Also available is a never-before-seen pilot of Aquaman, a contemporary reinterpretation of DC Comics' Aquaman from the writing and producing team of Alfred Gough and Miles Millar famous for Smallville.

"Making our television content available to iTunes consumers is an important step in our digital distribution strategy," said Simon Kenny, president of Warner Bros Digital Distribution.

"This deal fits perfectly with our philosophy of providing consumers with access to our world-class entertainment properties across the widest selection of platforms and devices available."
