Project Runway in iTunes...sort of
We received a tip
from Radical Bender at
Tunevision that Bravo's Project Runway (season 2) had been spotted in iTunes, but with no available episodes
listed. We checked, and sure enough (as of 2:30PM EST, at least) it's there [link], but with no
episodes available for purchase. Perhaps work on the page is just wrapping up now, or maybe it was released
prematurely? Either way, we'll keep you updated.Thanks, Tunevision!
Update: Two episodes have been made availabe for download as of 4:00 PM EST - a 45 minute "reunion" episode and a free, 3 minute trailer.

I got a press release from Bravo today announcing Project Runway and Inside the Actor's Studio will both be available February 28. Here's the text:
CURRENT & PAST SEASONS OF EMMY-NOMINATED "INSIDE THE ACTORS STUDIO" AND CURRENT SEASON-TO-DATE EPISODES OF "PROJECT RUNWAY" AVAILABLE ON FEBRUARY 28
Burbank, CA - February 22, 2006 - Bravo today announced that its critically acclaimed original cable programming will launch on the iTunes Music Store(www.itunes.com). Viewers will be able to download tonight's reunion episode of the Emmy-nominated hit series "Project Runway" in advance of Bravo's television premiere.
Beginning Tuesday, February 28, viewers will be able to download the entire current season-to-date episodes of "Project Runway" as well as the most compelling episodes of Bravo's eleven time Emmy-nominated "Inside the Actors Studio" featuring this season's interview coups with Dave Chappelle and Angelina Jolie. Also available will be some of the most acclaimed episodes from last season's "Inside the Actors Studio" including Jim Lipton's interview with Michael J. Fox.
"Bravo continues to provide some of the most talked about, water-cooler buzz shows on television today," said Jeff Zucker, CEO NBC Universal Television Group. "We are really pleased to be able to offer a show like 'Project Runway' on iTunes. This show was not only the single cable show nominated for an Emmy in its category last year, but it has grown to be an even bigger hit this year. iTunes provides the perfect platform for Bravo's acclaimed programming and we're confident that they will find the same success as our other offerings."
"We're thrilled to bring great original cable programming from Bravo to the iTunes Music Store," said Eddy Cue, Apple's vice president of iTunes. "We strive to bring the best content to iTunes and we think customers are going to love the addition of 'Project Runway' and 'Inside the Actors Studio.'"
"iTunes gives our passionate 'Project Runway' viewers the first chance to watch premiere episodes on their iPod," said Lauren Zalaznick, President, Bravo. "Marrying the coolest technology to a really cool show lets our loyal viewers watch the best and buzziest Bravo shows in a completely new way."

Yikes! I haven't watched TV "entertainment" for at least 10 years and this just reinforces why I gave it up.

When is Apple going to realise that there is a market for this in Canada? We get American stations, we are exposed to all the same advertising, but we can't get any of the content in iTunes, it is very frustrating.

when will people start realizing that Apple has no control over international distribution of televised content and that if they did we'd see TV shos in all iTunes locales.
