(Wednesday, October 12 12:13 PM)
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Digital video recorder not working? Can't wait for a DVD release? ABC feels your pain.

The network and its parent company, Disney, have teamed up with Apple to offer episodes of several shows, including monster hits "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives," on Apple's iTunes music service. The deal, which Disney says is the first of its kind, coincides with the release of iTunes 6.

The new ABC drama "Night Stalker" and two Disney Channel series, "That's So Raven" and "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody," will also be available for downloading through iTunes. New episodes will be available the day after their initial broadcast for $1.99 each for viewing on a computer or iPod.

ABC will also offer the entire first seasons of "Lost" and "Housewives" on the service, along with selected past episodes of the two Disney Channel series.

"This initiative is a perfect example of us applying our strategic priorities, namely marrying great content with cutting-edge technology to more effectively distribute our content while enhancing the experience for our customers," Disney CEO Robert Iger says. "For the first time ever, hit prime-time shows can be purchased online the day after they air on TV."

Downloads of the shows will be available in the United States only.
