News Corp. sets quick '24' DVD pace


May 19, 2009 Monday's season finale of "24" on News Corp.'s Fox network included commercials for the DVD box set of the just-ended season of the high-octane show that became available Tuesday. The New York Times on Monday reported about the unusually quick DVD release -- similar to a day-and-date film release strategy, and the move has also raised some eyebrows on Wall Street. Mike Dunn, president of Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, said Tuesday that the quick "24" release is indeed the first-ever TV DVD to be available right after the season finale and called the move an "experiment" amid the changing viewing habits in the digital age.
