More people watch free ABC stream than download from iTunes

Do you remember way back in May when we told you that ABC was experimenting with streaming some of their primetime shows on the web for free (with commercials, of course). It looks like the experiment was a success because according to ABC the streaming shows were viewed 11 million times in 2 months as compared to 6 million iTunes downloads over 9 months.

Does this mean that people are willing to watch commercials if the TV shows are free? Well, duh.
