Apple Lands Podcasting Deal, Apple Strikes Podcasting Deal with Sundance
By AppleInsider Staff
Apple and the Sundance Channel have struck a deal that will make content from the cable network exclusively available as podcast downloads from the Apple iTunes Web site next month, according to AdAge.com
The partnership between the two companies will deliver iTunes one of its first exclusive podcast partners, the online publication says.
Apple is believed to be in the midst of propositioning a vast number of media and entertainment outlets to make their content available via iTunes podcasts, including magazines and radio stations, independent sources have told AppleInsider.
One of the first iTunes podcast features scheduled from the Sundance Channel will be the much-hyped The Al Franken Show, featuring the Air America talk show host. A collection of video clips from the show will also be available for streaming from Apple's website.
AdAge also reports that as part of the barter deal, Sundance will receive Apple’s post-production editing equipment and expertise. In the future, the two companies may collaborate on the Apple retail level, the report adds.
