Universal TV comes to iTunes UK

UniversalUniversal is now distributing its TV shows through the iTunes Store in the UK. Universal’s content was added to the store last night (UK time). Their decision to bring shows to iTunes in the UK is interesting, because of the recent disputes between Apple and NBC Universal; its content had been removed from the iTunes US Store, but remained on Microsoft’s Zune store for the same price.

Universal is bringing some well-known hit TV shows that are currently airing on UK television, including: Heroes (Season Two), House, Eureka, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and The Incredible Hulk. All of the shows are priced at the regular £1.89 - which is still quite a bit more than US users would pay, due to the exchange rate and other excuses Apple makes for overcharging us. Interestingly, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and The Incredible Hulk are available for just £1.19 each - this could be because these are the less popular shows, and may gain more exposure from lower prices.
