The Motley Fool - News Corp.'s New VOD Model

The Motley Fool - News Corp.'s New VOD Model:
"News Corp. (NYSE: NWS) has an interesting little scheme in the works. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fox and DirecTV (NYSE: DTV) intend on adding yet another permutation to the whole video-on-demand zeitgeist. Come March, DirecTV subscribers will be able to use their digital video recorders to order up content (at $2.99 per episode) before it's broadcast over the airwaves for a cost of nada. The shows include 24, Prison Break, The Shield, and Rescue Me. So if you just can't wait for the appointed time slot to arrive, you can order up an episode of any of these shows a couple days early."
