ABC Shows and ESPN Clips Now On Veoh
Your choices for online TV viewing just got wider. As of today, ABC shows like “Lost,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” and “Ugly Betty” will be available at the online video site Veoh.
According to the ABC Press Release:
Veoh will also offer select short-form programming from ABC via an embedded short-form player, which will launch on the site later this year. In addition, Veoh now features highlights from major sporting events through a multi-sport embedded ESPN video player, as well as original ESPN programming, including “SportsCenter Right Now” — a twice-daily capsule of top sports stories, highlights and breaking news — and clips from ESPN programs such as “Mike and Mike in the Morning,” “Pardon the Interruption” and “Around the Horn.”
After I told a friend of mine about this news he said he’s seriously considering dropping his cable service, since there’s so much he can watch online for free.
I’m not ready to go that far. After all, as much as I hate writing out that monthly check to the cable company, it’s a little premature to be pulling the plug altogether. But since my friend is getting most of his sports from ESPN360 and now a lot more of his primetime programming online, I envy him the money he’s going to save by cutting out cable all together.
