Apple Adds U.S. Television Content to Canadian iTunes Store

Apple has added number of popular American TV shows to its iTunes store in Canada, significantly increasing the amount of video content available to Canadian iPod and iPhone users.

The newly-available shows (added this past Thursday) include ABC’s Lost, Fox’s 24, and NBC’s 30 Rock. Single episodes of these and other U.S. shows are now available for $2.49 a piece ($3.49 in high-definition), while full seasons cost $49.99 ($69.99 in high-definition).

The Canadian iTunes store began offering television content in December 2007, and added movie content to the mix in the summer of 2008. Up until now, however, selection has paled in comparison to the U.S. iTunes store, with most American prime-time content being unavailable.
