IP Democracy: ABC Stations Vidcast News via iTunes

It looks like Apple’s deal with Disney is filtering down the corporate chain. Steve Rubel reports that WABC-TV in New York (iTunes link) and WLS-TV in Chicago (iTunes link), both owned and operated by Disney’s ABC, are vidcasting (video podcasting) their local news programs for distribution via iTunes. Unlike the other Disney TV programs made available for iTunes and iPod, such as “Desperate Housewives,” “Lost” and “That’s So Raven,” the local newscasts are free to play or download.
