Fox Offers 24 Fifth Season on MySpace

TV Networks have realized the potential the internet stores for the distribution of content. Last week CBS launched a separate broadband channel that features original Web series, Survivor clips and other CBS content. Now Fox joins the online celebration and announced that 24 content will be featured on the social networking site MySpace.

The premiere episode of 24 and the first episode of season five will be available for free to the more than 75 million registered MySpace users, while the rest of the first and fifth-season episodes will go for $1.99 per download through a MySpace page sponsored by Burger King that`s dedicated to the hit series. "This is truly the perfect marriage of compelling content, an extremely creative advertising partner and the Internet`s leading site for young adults," Peter Levinsohn, president of digital media for Fox Entertainment Group, said in a statement.

MySpace has become a hot spot for uploading and viewing digital content, whether it`s a new band wanting to get its music out there in hopes of attracting a record deal or a teenager posting video of her trip to Disneyland for all of her friends to see.
