Re: Was It Apple Or NBC?

said by steelyken:

Is this story right? I read on another website it was Apple who pulled the plug on their contract early (set to expire in December), not NBC-Universal.
NBC pulled out of negotiations to renew when the current contract expires on 12/31/2007. Apple got pissed and said they won't offer anything starting right away - so take that NBC.

Of course, they both could come to an agreement anyway after they poll the reactions of those that were buying the NBC shows.

Re: Was It Apple Or NBC?

Apple says because they don't want the contract to expire in after the tv season has started which is a good idea. It'd be dumb if you could buy the shows up until the end of Dec. but then you couldn't because NBC doesn't post any more.

From gizmodo, apple is said to have shitcanned NBC because NBC wanted to increase the charge to $4.99 a show.
