BitTorrent Signals TV Programming Site Plans

Speaking at an OMMA conference panel session, BitTorrent VP Eric Patterson said the company is planning an ad-supported TV program website, reports MediaPost.
Patterson was mum on further details, but an ad-supported site that offers TV programs for download would primarily compete against recently launched Joost for market share.

Joost agreed with Viacom earlier this year to make hundreds of TV shows available on the site.

BitTorrent recently announced a deal with several Hollywood studios to offer downloadable movies.
