Apple Cuts iPod Deal With NBC

December 6, 2005

The AP reports that Apple and NBC have cut a deal to offer episodes from NBC shows like The Office on the new iPod for $1.99 each.
More than 300 episodes from about a dozen prime time, cable, late-night and classic TV shows are now available for $1.99 apiece, viewable on computers or downloadable on the latest, video-capable iPod.

The programming spans from the 1950s to the present, including shows from "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," "Dragnet," USA Network's "Monk," the Sci-Fi Channel's "Battlestar Galactica," and NBC's hit series "Law & Order." Sketches from "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" are also for sale.

Apple unleashed a dramatically different way of distributing television programs when it debuted videos for sale on its iTunes Music Store on Oct. 20 with Walt Disney Co.'s ABC as its first network partner. Customers have since downloaded more than three million videos.
The shows can be found on the iTunes.com website. Apple first cut a tv show deal with ABC so that episodes from shows like Lost can be purchased and then played on the iPod. TiVo is also offering iPod support. More TV-iPod content deals are likely to follow.
