iTunes France TV shows
After some delay relative to its neighbors in Europe, France is the latest country to officially gain access to TV shows through the iTunes Store (link). Content consists of a mix of foreign and local programming, with local networks including ARTE, Dargaud TV, Dupuis TV, France 2 and TF1 Vision. The two foreign broadcasters are American ones, ABC and MTV.
Shows familiar to the English-speaking world include (among others) Lost, South Park, Spongebob Squarepants and Desperate Housewives. Some French shows include Spirou et Fantasio, RIS and Chez Maupassant. Apple's variable pricing scheme is in effect, at costs between €1.99 and €2.49 per episode.
