Expanding its VOD offerings, Disney-ABC Television Group has inked a deal with Verizon to make of ABC prime-time programs available to FiOS TV customers on demand, the companies announced Tuesday (Oct. 28). Shows such as Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, Lost, Samantha Who? and Ugly Betty will be available for on-demand viewing one day after their broadcast premiere at no charge and in high definition.

As with ABC’s other VOD offerings, Verizon will disable the fast-forward option for ABC content, based on an ABC trial last fall in California.
