Reruns of "The Simpsons" will yield a 12.5 percent cut of the revenue generated online from those shows and other Fox programs.
Now that News Corp has managed to sign a new six-year agreement with its 187 affiliates, the Fox network should start catching up to its competitors in making shows like "American Idol" available on the Internet.

The move comes just a couple of days after The Walt Disney Company announced plans to broadcast shows from ABC and the Disney Channel online.
In that deal, advertising from sponsors like Procter & Gamble or Ford will occupy three one-minute blocks in an hour of programming. Unlike Fox, ABC has not yet worked out an affiliate revenue sharing model; those affiliates will certainly point out the Fox deal whenever the issue comes up in negotiations.
