'NBC Nightly News' to Be Shown on Internet

Feltope writes "NBC News said Monday that it would begin making its "NBC Nightly News" broadcast available for free on the Internet starting next week. Past broadcasts will also be archived at the http://www.nightlynews.msnbc.com/ Web site, the network said. It's not necessarily news on demand, though. The newscast, aired at 6:30 p.m. on many NBC stations on the East Coast, won't be available on the Web until after 10 p.m. ET. 'Many of our viewers tell me they often miss the broadcast because they're not at home or tending to their busy lives and families," anchor Brian Williams said. "This new service reflects the fact that the pace of our lives has changed.' "

Re:People still watch news... on television?!?

I can think of a few reasons, first and foremost of which deal with political leanings and biases. Of course, all the networks are that way. It's hard to find a reliable news source anymore, part of the reason I stopped watching television. Especially when Katrina hit, all the networks suddenly became the physical embodiment of their chosen political alignment. It was freakin' freaky. I still believe in the good old-fashioned newspaper, though you still gotta take the articles in there with a grain of salt as well. Still, it's better than listening to BBC News talking about all the ways the hurricane was Bush's fault.

You might just want to watch the news stories they don't bother showing because they can't find a way to make them hurt Bush.
