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. -- -- Internet News My BLOG My Web Page |

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. |
