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.

abc just lost another viewer
because of their inconsiderate
policy of schedule changes.
they need to quit the pratice
of changing programing to promote another barbra walters special. i would rather watch pbs than hear barbra interview another cele.leave the programs we want to watch alone since i cant follow their line ups i might as well watch something else. so in short piss off abc. untill you can get it together i hope barbra,rosie, and your execs all go bankrupt
