"Shows such as Lost, Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy are some of the most popular, ground-breaking and talked about TV series produced in recent years, so to add these to our already extensive programming will create one of the most comprehensive packages on the market, which are sure to be a hit with our audiences."
Maria Kyriacou, senior vice president for new media distribution at Disney-ABC-ESPN, said: "We’re committed to working with international partners in the new media space to bring our content to viewers in flexible ways - the impressive back catalogue of these award-winning hit series lends itself perfectly to Top Up TV Anytime’s on demand offering, where viewers will be able to revisit them, or discover them for the first time."
