Fox has signed a six-year agreement with its 187 affiliated stations that will let it show reruns of its television programs on the Internet, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The agreement lets Fox make 60 percent of its prime-time schedule available online the morning after the shows air.
Fox joins Disney and others testing the ad-supported model for delivering original video content via the Internet.
Disney/ABC announced earlier this week that it will offer some of its most popular shows, including “Desperate Housewives” and “Lost,” for free on an advertising-supported Web service.
