CTV has closed a deal to run three more U.S. series on its site, adding Lost, Grey’s Anatomy and Desperate Housewives.
The deal with Disney-ABC, unveiled Friday, includes the remaining new episodes for all three from the 2007/08 season, which will be streamed through the CTV Broadband Network at ctv.ca after they air on the West Coast.
‘These are three of the hottest shows on television today, and we want to make sure CTV viewers can stay on top of these fan favourites through the end of the season by catching up at their convenience,’ said CTV programming boss Susanne Boyce in a statement.
Online deals for U.S. shows are difficult to close, though CTV and Global have both offered a handful of primetime series since 2006.
Each episode will be available for 28 days. Also included in the deal are brief episode recaps and 13 web-only installments of Lost, meant to fill in gaps from the last three seasons.
