NETFLIX TO STREAM ABC SERIES

Netflix subscribers may now begin to watch the first five seasons of ABC's Lost free as part of a deal announced today (Monday) between the online movie rental service and the TV network. Previous seasons of several additional ABC hit shows, including Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy will become available beginning next month via online streaming, Netflix said. The deal for the ABC programs extends one already in place between Netflix and Disney-ABC Television Group that mostly involves shows from the Disney Channel. In a statement, Robert Kynci, Netflix's head of content acquisition, said, "We're providing Netflix members with some of the most popular and avidly followed shows on TV while working with an important business partner to help grow several of its key franchises."
