Jon Stewart To Be Available As An iTunes Download

You've loved him on "The Daily Show," you watched him (with some misgivings) as host of last Sunday's Academy Awards telecast--and now you can download him to your very own computer or iPod. Jon Stewart, podded, will come at a price, however. The subscription for "Daily Show" episodes will cost $9.99 a month, but for that you also get the recently launched "Colbert Report." Both are Comedy Central programs. The deal was announced this week by Apple, which owns iTunes and is just getting started with its monthly subscription business. Subscribers will be able to download the Stewart and Colbert shows after they have been broadcast. According to the San Jose Business Journal, Apple has sold some 8 million video downloads since launching the service a year ago.
