iTunes is launching the service in partnership with Viacom Inc.'s Comedy Central Network, which is rolling out "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report" on the service.

No details on the Digital Rights Management involved, but appears to simply be discounted bulk pre-purchasing of the shows, and they are expected to be "owned" downloads -- the same as individually purchased items.
