11 NBC TV shows now on Apple iTMS

2005-12-07 Thread Martin Hill
Speaking of TV shows, NBC and the SciFi channel have now joined Disney's
Lost and Desperate Housewives and signed on to provide 11 of their TV
shows for purchase at US$1.99 per episode on Apple's iTunes Music Store
including:

Battlestar Galactica (the new remake)
Monk
Law  Order
The Office
Surface
Late Night with Conan O'Brien
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

And a few old classic shows:

Dragnet (50's cop show)
Knight Rider (Kit the car!)
Alfred Hitchcock Presents
Adam-12 (classic police drama)

ESPN and Fox sound like they'll be next.

Apple said Tuesday that it has now sold more than 3 million videos from its
iTunes store since launching the feature in early October, indicating that
customer demand extended beyond simple one-time curiosity.

Not bad for 2 months (6 million dollars ain't too shabby).  Looks like Apple
may indeed have a chance of repeating it's music success in the TV sphere.

I wonder when any of these will make it to the Australian store.  *sigh*

Probably not.  Look how long it took for ITMS to get here in the first 
place.  I'm sure 7/9/10 will be just as painful as the record companies 
:-(  We can't even get a good reason to switch to digital tv (reception 
is not a good reason, as everyone would have swapped by now!).

Very cool show.
 But wasn't it K.I.T.T ;O)

Knight Industries Two Thousand? (or something like that.)

I could be wrong.
I actually got to sit in one of the KITT cars in NZ when I was younger and
it was doing a tour. I got to sit in one of the General Lee's as well, also
when it came to NZ,...again when I was younger. :o)


Arrr yes those were the days. :o)

Ok,..well back to reality for me now,..carry on working.
(And I can I just say it's really nice having wireless access when you're
running early at a clients house and you can sit out the front and use their
wireless network. And yes I'm allowed to) :O)

Enjoy!

Kind Regards
Daniel
