Under the terms of the deal Disney will offer hundreds of episodes to subscribers on the 3 network in the U.K., including ABC Studios’ award winning live action series ‘Lost’, ‘Desperate Housewives’, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and more.

The breakthrough SVOD service called TV on Demand is fully managed and powered by On Demand Group, the three-screen enabler for premier content and operations brands. The TV on Demand service fulfills the industry’s anytime, anywhere personal TV vision to provide the most desired programmes to any handset with complete on-demand control.

Leveraging On Demand Group’s technology and numerous partner studios and programmer relationships, TV on Demand presents an excellent mobile viewing experience. It offers a variety of top-rated television shows enabling subscribers to extend their enjoyment of complete programmes while they’re on the go, away from their TV and broadband connections.

The TV On Demand service will allow our customers to watch their favourite programmes when and where they want to.”
