Leon Long, chairman of ABC's affiliate board said if viewers have the choice of watching "desperate housewives" on their wide-screen television with surround sound or a two-inch iPod screen, they will almost certainly watch it on TV. The iPod option will likely be attractive to people who missed an episode and want to keep up with the story, he said.

　　He noted that two of the three series ABC is offering to iTunes - the new "Night Stalker" is the other - are serials（系列片） that require viewers to follow story lines that play out over several months.

　　At the beginning, the downloads might also appeal to techies who want to try out the new product and might not necessarily be fans of the programs, which could bring these shows a new audience.

　　As for the chance it will pull people away from his station, Long said, "It's certainly a risk but I don't think it's a great risk."
