NBC says “You’re Fired” to Apple
Well it looks like NBC is choosing not to renew their contract with Apple that would allow NBC shows to be available through the iTunes store because Apple would not raise prices.
“We are disappointed to see NBC leave iTunes because we would not agree to their dramatic price increase,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of iTunes. “We hope they will change their minds and offer their TV shows to the tens of millions of iTunes customers.”
This is a shame because there are good shows from NBC like The Office, My Name is Earl, 30 Rock, and Chuck (really looking forward to this one) to name a few, and I was hoping to buy them off the iTunes store so I could keep an archive. I don’t want to have to keep them on my DVR just so I can show friends an episode. It’s much easier to buy them off of iTunes and keep them on a hard drive along with all my other archived material.
Update: NBC says they didn’t want prices raised.
