by Josh Bernoff

with Shar VanBoskirk


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Disney announced that it would make popular ABC shows including Lost and Desperate Housewives available for free on a Web site that it controls, starting April 30. Shows will include ads that can't be skipped. This is the start of a big trend; now, networks, Web portals, cable operators, and advertisers need to shift their strategies. Free TV on the Web will further weaken TV schedules and hasten networks' transition to multiple revenue streams.
