AOL Presses Play on Video Downloads
AOL has partnered with 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros. to offer its users downloadable movies through AOL Video. With prices ranging from $9.99 to $19.99, customers will be able to download recent DVD releases and archived movies in all film genres, and watch them online, offline, and on other PC’s and portable devices. AOL Video already has more than 45 different video channels and partnerships with 17 other video content providers.
“We’re very excited to add digital movie downloads and additional TV content to the already wide-variety of content that we offer through the AOL Video portal,” said AOL EVP Kevin Conroy in a statement. “We’ll continue to add more and more high quality branded content to the mix.”
AOL also continues to add to its on-demand video channels. Coming soon are TV shows from Fox and Sony Pictures, which will be accessible through AOL’s Interactive Programming Guide. Fox TV content channels will feature both new and old shows from Fox, FX, Speed and Fuel TV as paid downloads, while Sony’s channels, AXN and FunnyBone (which play retro dramas and sitcoms) will feature free ad-supported content.
