Watch Fox Repeats Free on iTunes

Watch Fox Repeats Free on iTunes

Fox just inked a deal with Apple that will let you download its repeats over iTunes for free. You'll be able to check out back episodes of shows like 'Prison Break' and 'Bones' poised for season debuts. Fox's strategy is that viewers are more likely to tune in to current episodes on TV if they have last season's (or last week's) cliffhanger fresh in their minds.

This comes not long after NBC pulled its entire collection of shows from iTunes amid rumors that Apple was pushing for $.99 episode downloads. NBC, however, went on to offer free downloads of current episodes via their own video download service, NBC Direct. The catch is that NBC's downloads have ads embedded in them.
