Disney CEO Bob Iger said Disney-owned television content has surpassed 4 million downloads on the iTunes Music Store since videos were added in October 2005. Disney content includes shows from ABC, the Disney Channel and ESPN/ABC Sports. “Technology has transformed authority from the distributor and creator to the consumer. Today’s consumer is more tech-savvy and governs how and when and at what price content is sent to them,” Iger said at his keynote speech Monday at the TelecomNext show in Las Vegas.

” Today’s consumer is more tech-savvy and governs how and when and at what price content is sent to them,â€?

Oooh! Well, I’d like all of the Disney Classics in 720p H264 quicktime format for around £7.99 a pop if that’s ok Mr.Iger! wink

Seriously though, good going. Now how about rolling some of that non-Pixar content out to the non US iTMS’ ?

Take out ‘Lost’ and Disney/ABC probably hasn’t sold more than a dozen video downloads.

I just want them to put House Of Mouse, Filmore, and the Goofy Movie on I-Tunes. I’d buy those. Hope their listening. Lost isn’t so great - Long live cartoons!

Hatman-

‘Lost’ was great, but has gone down hill.  Nevertheless, it’s consistently the best selling video at iTMS.
