(MarketWatch) -- Walt Disney Co.'s ABC and ESPN said Monday that they've forged a deal with online video provider Veoh Networks to make full episodes and clips available from such programs as "Lost," "Desperate Housewives" and "Pardon the Interruption" available at Veoh.com.
The shows will be delivered using ABC.com's proprietary broadband player. Other ABC programs to be offered include "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and "Ugly Betty," while additional ESPN content includes "SportCenter Right Now," "Mike and Mike in the Morning" and "Around the Horn."
At Veoh.com, viewers can access ABC and ESPN channels through tabs located on the homepage or through the Web site's video search function. "This deal expands the distribution of our quality programming through our own broadband players, growing the reach of our advertisers while maintaining their direct association with our powerful network brands," said Matt Murphy, senior vice president of digital video distribution for Disney and ESPN Media Networks, in a statement.
