ITN to offer free, ad-supported news via Apple’s iTunes Store
Wednesday, October 24, 2007 - 09:17 AM EST

ITN’s latest news and information will soon be available to download onto Apple iPods.

"ITN is to make a range of its news and entertainment programming available for free over Apple's iTunes Store," Mark Sweney reports for The Guardian.

"Under the deal ITN, which will provide the same content customised for its ITN Mobile service, will provide the clips for free by running a short "pre-roll" ad ahead of each download," Sweney reports.

"BMW has been confirmed as the first advertiser to run a campaign, handled by technology company Ad Infuse, around ITN's new iTunes content," Sweney reports.

"ITN will provide a range of UK, world, sports, show business and business news, with content including cinema-goers' guide Movie Buff and Hollywood A-List," Sweney reports.

Not sure how this is anything different than what digg (for example) do.

Isn't this just a podcast?

I used to watch ITN news in the US a few years ago and really liked their coverage(and their hot anchor!). However, some sort of deal with Star or Rupert Murdoch(or something) changed their broadcast availability in the US.

This is significant because ITN is an established and high quality news service.

As much fun as Digg is, at the end of the day, it's more or less a couple of pissed geeks chilling out for an hour.

This is a significant deal for UK users in terms of available content. More interestingly i think it will put added pressure on the BBC over their iPlayer fiasco and their shoddy treatment of non windowz users

Hello? BBC? Dudes, iTunes is your iPlayer. Tap-tap-tap. Is this thing on?

What the fuck is ITN? No, I am not Googling it either... I don't actually care. I'm just saying.

@lucas.

Here is some info from ITN from their "about us" page.
Which took me all of ten seconds to find under a ITN search on Google, I bet there is a lengthy disposition of ITN on WIKI, but I don't actually care either, so I couldn't be arsed to put a link in for you ... Whoops.
