'NBC Nightly News' to Be Shown on Internet

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday November 1, 2005 @03:18AM from the step-in-the-right-direction dept.

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.' "

Hardly anybody is watching it for free over their air or cable TV.

By "hardly anybody," do you mean NBC's 9,200,000 viewers ? Or the 24,000,000 combined that watch national evening news on the major networks?
