iTunes France Turns on the TV

Thursday, May 29th, 2008 at 11:05 AM - by

Apple's iTunes Store in France joined the U.S. and U.K. on Thursday when it added TV shows to its online offerings. French customers now have access to programming from TF1, France Télévisions, Arte, Mediatoon's Dargaud TV, and Dupuis TV along with content from Walt Disney and MTV Networks.

The French iTunes Store is now offering several popular shows including La main blanche, Les Contes de la Collection Chez Maupassant, Coeur Océan, Spirou et Fantasio, Lucky Luke, and Le dessous des cartes. U.S. show offerings include Lost, Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty, and South Park. Disney's content will be available at the French iTunes Store "soon," according to Apple.

The shows are compatible with iTunes on Mac OS X and Windows, iPod, iPhone, and Apple TV.

Apple is continuing with its new multi-tier pricing structure by offering shows at €1.49, €1.99 and €2.49 per episode -- a trend that first appeared with the company's U.K. iTunes Store, and then appeared in the U.S. with HBO's shows.
