NBC Chief Slamming Apple

Posted by kdawson on from the catch-more-flies-with-honey dept.

On the heels of the beta of NBC's and News Corp.'s less-than-killer Hulu music store, NBC's chief Jeff Zucker is speaking out and saying the darnedest things. First, news.com reports, with derision, that Zucker demanded a cut of Apple's iPod revenue. That'll sure happen. Next, AppleInsider caught Zucker urging colleagues to take a stand against Apple's iTunes, charging that the digital download service was undermining the ability of traditional media companies to set profitable rates for their content online.

  1. I paid 99 cents for a comcast ppv NBC show by weave · · Score: 4, Informative

    I got lazy last week and just paid the 99 cents to watch an episode of The Office that I missed on Comcast's "On Demand" service.

    IT HAD COMMERCIAL INTERRUPTIONS

    At each normal commercial point they showed a 30 second ad for some NBC show.

    Never again. I was steaming.
