CBS, NBC to Offer TV Shows for 99 Cents

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday November 8, 2005 @05:00AM from the stepping-towards-on-demand dept.

According to an AP report. "CBS and NBC have announced deals to offer replays of prime-time programs for 99 cents per episode, shifting television toward a sales model that gained popularity with downloaded music." But the shows will only be available over Comcast on Demand, not for download.

I'm glad my MythTV box is working predictably now. I could get some .99c episodes, record them, then have the best of both worlds.

Too bad there's not a damn thing on The Big Three I'd pay money to watch. Also if you're paying for it, you should get it uncut with no commercials. I haven't read anything on that yet.
