VOD case study: PBS (US)

PBS hit the news last May with the announcement that it would begin offering such high-profile hits as Frontline, Antiques Roadshow, Nature, Wide Angle, POV and others on VOD in dozens of major US markets. The VOD arrangement is between member stations and their local cable operators (with PBS' oversight), and about 10 hours of programming is made available for on-demand viewing per week, with agreements in place that also allow stations to offer additional locally produced content.
