iTunes TV Show Rentals Canceled for Low Ratings
Apple has stopped offering 99-cent TV show rentals from iTunes. The decision comes about a year after the option debuted. Movie rentals are still available. TV shows may still be purchased for download, usually for the price of $1.99 to $2.99. The move appears to be in response to user demand for owning a show rather than just using it for a short period of time.
