NBC has announced that many of their television shows are now available through the Apple iTunes store for download to your video iPod. (What? Don’t have a video iPod? There’s a link to get one at the bottom of the post. And they make a dandy Christmas present, especially with the availability of all of these television shows for download!)
In addition to “Law and Order”, “The Tonight Show”, and “Monk”, NBC is offering such vintage shows as “Dragnet”, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents”, and “Adam 12”, as well as pilots of “Lost”, “Desperate Housewives”, and “The Office”.
NBC joins ABC, the Disney Channel, the SciFi Channel, and the USA Network in offering television shows for download through the iTunes store. And at $1.99 a pop, and with iTunes software being free and working on both Windows and Macs, it’s really quite a bargain!
But NBC has gone the others one better. Or at least one different. Reports are surfacing that banner ads are running across the lower one-third of the television screen on shows such as “Law and Order”, telling viewers that “The Office is now available in the iTunes video store”, and sporting a big Apple logo.
Congratulations, Mr. Jobs, you may have just managed to beat Microsoft in the “it’s everywhere” department. And just in time for Christmas!
