Australia has made no official announcement regarding the introduction
of television downloads, apart from a sign "TV Shows just added" on the
front page of the Australian iTunes store. Content providers include ABC
Studios, the Disney Channel, MTV, the
Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Australia's Nine Network. None
of the 23 available programs appear to be first run, all have screened

only weeks before the launch of the iPhone 3G in Australia. Downloaded
television shows are compatible with both the iPhone and the Apple TV
set top box.
