ABC.com Users Watch More Than Two Million Streams

Interesting set of statistics from PaidContent.org: ABC.com Users Watch More Than Two Million Streams since ABC started the experiment with online streaming of shows on May 1st. Even more surprising was that 86% of viewers watched (or could remember) the ads, which is twice the retention of regular TV.

This news coupled with the news that ABC won't be replaying old episodes of Lost next season (no more need for this handy utility), I bet they move them to online-only showing, before they're released on DVD or found at the iTunes Store, based on the success of their online streams.
