'NBC Nightly News' to Be Shown on Internet

Posted by CmdrTaco on 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.' "

    NBC - No Body Cares!

    TV is sooo, 1980's -
    I'm amazed people still bother to power the 50,000 watt towers,
    since most people who still bother to watch one or two hours of tv a day, well - they have Dish or Cable, so why waste the $$$ and the Electrical power on TV towers?

  3. Reminds me of a joke... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    This guy goes to his doctor and tells him he needs help - his penis is turning orange.
    The doctor examines him and says OK -it's orange alright - I'll have to know a little history. How often do you and your wife have sex?"
    The guys says "Oh, I'm not married."
    Doctor says "Oh, OK - well then how often do you and your partner have sex?"
    The guys replies "Well, I don't really have a partner."
    So the doctor asks "Well, what sort of sex life do you have?"
    The guys says "None really, most nights I just stop at the video store, rent a dirty movie, buy a bag of Cheetos and head home."

    So following on with your food analogy, you prefer to be spoonfed?

    Don't worry, you are not alone; This planet is full of people just like you.

    Actually, not at all. Real news stations like Democracy Now! (www.democracynow.org) have been streaming (and archiving) their news for years. This is nothing new.

    The reporting is a lot better too...
