ABC has announced that it will offer free online streams of four popular programs the day after they're aired. Commander in Chief, Desperate Housewives, Lost and Alias will be available in two 16:9 formats: 700x394 or 500x282 in a streaming flash format. You'll be able to pause the show and select chapters, much like a DVD, but sadly there's no way to skip commercials. This is a two-month trial, and may very well turn into a subscription service in the future. Till then, it's a cheaper way to enjoy Lost than downloading each episode for $1.99 from iTunes.
