Emmys. Showtime to give Academy members access to episodes online

Showtime is pairing with Internet-TV company Brightcove to give members of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences access to 82 original episodes of series including Weeds and Dexter online, rather than sending out the some 20 DVDs it has in the past.

The network will mail out just three DVDs along with a brochure this year instead, saving tens of thousands of dollars, executives said.

... Starting Feb. 15, voting members of the Academy will get personal access codes to see current full seasons of Showtime’s Weeds, Dexter, Brotherhood, Californication and The L Word, as well as yet-to-premiere shows including Tracey Ullman’s State of the Union and season two of The Tudors.
