'Fresh', VODed stateside content?
I know Iâ₠™m living in dream land here, butââ‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¦.what are the chances of NTL:Telewest of purchasing the rights to show †˜freshâà ¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€ŠÂ¢ stateside programs on VOD the day after that programme has aired?

Take FOXââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s 24 †“ it would be nice if we could see last nightÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s stateside episode. People would pay for it too, especially those who donââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t know how to erm, †˜acquireâà ƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚¬Ã¢â€ ¾Ã‚¢ those episodes via broadband.

I know that for 24, its unlikely to happen (I think Sky have brought all the UK rights for that show), but for other shows, it could be worth a shot and would make VOD even more of a killer-app for cable. Imagine the advertising for it, †œWatch †˜freshâà ¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€ŠÂ¢ House, NCIS, and Greys Anatomy †“ direct from the states, only on VODââ‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚.
