On demand . . . with advertising

Entertainment

Can't get enough of Lost or Desperate Housewives? ABC's making the shows available "on demand" for cable subscribers. Don't get too excited. Guess what comes with them? Advertisements -- unlike usual video-on-demand programming, which allows you to fast-forward through commercials. The ABC shows come with ads you can't speed through. ABC is one of the first networks to attempt this kind of an offering. HBO and Showtime already have video on demand channels.
