Fox Selling Video On Demand Via MySpace.com & FIM
Sticking to this week’s underlying news theme of search engines & video revenue production, News Corporation has announced that Fox Interactive Media has penned a deal with Twentieth Century Fox to feature video downloads of Fox’s films and television programs across the FIM properties which include MySpace.com, IGN, Rotten Tomatoes and AskMen.com.
The video downloads will cost $1.99 for television episodes and somewhere around $19.99 for feature films.
Marshall Kirkpatrick at Techcrunch notes that this announcement is one of firsts:
In what the announcement claimed was a first, the downloads will be transferable to any Windows Media portable device. Each download will be viewable on two computers and one portable device per computer.
This may also be the first time an additional revenue model other than advertising has emerged from MySpace. Hopefully this Fall we’ll see a serious catalogue of videos available for easy download expand quickly across the FIM network.
I am trying to find the video “Lucky Lady” from 1975. Liza Minnelli and Burt Reynolds were in the movie. I have not been able to find it anywhere. I have emailed Liza and she said to contact Fox Video. If you can not help me who would you suggest I contact? Thanking you in advance.
