Classic ABC television shows unavailable today on DVD will likely turn up soon on the Internet, Disney CEO Robert Iger told shareholders in Albuquerque Thursday. Speaking at the company's annual meeting, Iger said, "Providing physical goods on DVD is tougher and tougher these days because shelf space [at video stores] is limited." Iger also indicated that some Disney shows, produced years ago for other networks, were also likely to turn up on Disney.com. He did not indicate which shows were likely to make the online transition.
