One criticism of Apple's iTunes Store has been the non-availability of TV shows outside of the US and the UK. The announcement that shows will now be offered to Canadian residents is a step in the right direction.

The initial batch of shows originate from Canadian and US networks.

The list includes CBC's Little Mosque on the Prairie, The Rick Mercer Report, No Opportunity Wasted, and Dragon's Den; CTV’s Corner Gas, Instant Star, Degrassi: The Next Generation, and Robson Arms; Comedy Central's Drawn Together, The Sarah Silverman Program, and South Park; and MTV Networks' Avatar: The Last Airbender, and The Hills.

Also available is a selection of National Hockey League matches.

"We're thrilled to bring television programming to the iTunes Store in Canada in time for the holiday season," said Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of iTunes. "We’re off to a great start with hit shows from CBC, CTV, Comedy Central and MTV Networks, along with the best of classic and current NHL action."

The price has been set at $C1.99 per episode.
