Apple Adds New TV Shows To iTunes

Posted by Zonk on from the i-am-mr.-ed dept.

Phaedo00 writes "Ars Technica is reporting that Apple has added eleven new and classic television shows from NBC, the Sci-Fi network, and USA. The new shows include Alfred Hitchcock, Battlestar Galactica, Monk, Surface, Conan O'Brien, Jay Leno, Dragnet, Law & Order, The Office and most importantly: Knight Rider!" From the article: "Steve Jobs took the opportunity to toot Apple's horn, stating that since the inception of video downloads on the iTMS, they'd sold nearly three million individual items. In addition to the sales figures, the PR from Apple stated that their current offering of video stands at approximately 300 episodes. All in all this looks like a slam dunk for Apple as they're rounding up their distribution deals and diversifying their suppliers. If the rumored deals with FOX and CBS are true then Apple will have a dominating lead in this market, much like their current domination in the digital music distribution arena."

    I'm guessing they aren't going to make noise about the fact that porn for the iPod is exploding. E.g. http://www.onthegox.com/index.php?a=70747&adtr

    And that's just one site. There are tons.

    Masterful moderation of the parent - a link to the Press Release and the Quicktime video of the announcement is "Offtopic"??? Let me try this instead:

    "Apple releases lame non-Ogg / Linux compatible content for their crap ass music/video store."

    Is that better /.?
