When consumers get their hands on the new Apple iPad this Saturday, April 3, they will discover that ABC and CBS television shows are available on the new device, reports the New York Times.

By the end of April, NBC programs are also likely to be iPad-friendly.

Since the iPad does not support Flash, there has been new software developed by the networks to make the shows viewable.

As previously reported on TV Week, Hulu is also developing a iPad app for TV viewing.
