Milonakis to Launch on iTunes Before TV

In an unusual reversal, but one befitting an Internet sensation, the third season of “The Andy Milonakis Show” will launch on iTunes a full month before it premieres on television.

This week, Apple will let viewers download the first episode for free. It will also sell individual episodes from the upcoming season for $1.99 each, as well as the entire six-season package for $9.99.

Starting March 27th, you’ll also be able to purchase episodes on Amazon Unbox, AOL Video, Wal-Mart Video Downloads, and Xbox Live Marketplace for the same $1.99 each. That same week, they’ll also launch on MTV Mobile, MTV2.com, and MTV on Demand.
