Digital TV provider BT Vision has teamed up with the ABC network to offer customers a new video-on-demand service.

The ABC TV On Demand service will go live on 15 September, giving BT Vision (www.btvision.bt.com) customers video-on-demand access to full seasons of hit shows, including Cougar Town, Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty.

The service will be available to all TV Pack customers while pay-per-view users can watch individual episodes for just 99p.

The TV Pack is included in all three Value packs or can be purchased as a standalone service for £6.99 a month.

Marc Watson, chief executive of television and online services, BT Retail, said: “BT Vision customers will be able to start, pause or rewind their favourite shows whenever they want without having to fit in with a broadcaster’s schedule or missing an episode.

“This is just the latest addition to BT Vision’s array of on-demand channels including Discovery, National Geographic and MTV.”
