People who subscribe to BT's broadband TV deals will have the chance to access top US shows through a new on-demand service next month.

The company has agreed a major deal with the Walt Disney Company which will see ABC TV On Demand made available to subscribers as part of BT Vision's TV Pack for £6.99 a month.

A range of content from Disney's network TV production arm ABC will be shown through the service, including full series of shows including Desperate Housewives, Criminal Minds and Brothers & Sisters.

In addition, seasons of Lost, Grey's Anatomy and Ugly Betty are also set to be made available.

Marc Watson, Chief Executive of Television and Online Services at BT Retail, said customers will be able to enjoy their favourite shows whenever they want.

"This is just the latest addition to BT Vision's array of on-demand channels including Discovery, National Geographic and MTV," he added.

BT Vision has recently been heavily promoting its Total Sports Package, which offers access to Sky Sports channels and ESPN from £6.99 a month.
