We looked at it but not seriously. It's three times the cost of the Vanderbilt TV News Archive. Vanderbilt includes footage from CNN, Fox, and PBS too. NBC has at least two advantages over Vanderbilt - better searching capabilities and an app that plugs into Blackboard. If Vanderbilt got HEAVY use I might consider it but it's use is tepid at best so adding 300% to the current price we pay for TV news archives can't be justified.
