New NBC shows are in iTunes Store

Filed under: Apple Corporate, iTS, iTunes

When NBC announced their intention to pull their subject matter from the US iTunes Store by December, Apple promised to assemble that happen much sooner:

“Apple has decided to not offer NBC TV shows for the upcoming television season beginning in September.”

A few hours later, NBC stated that their new shows will be available in the US iTunes Store. Today, I found Journeyman [iTunes link] and Chuck [iTunes link], two grade new shows, ready to go. I bet other hits like My Name is Earl and The Office, which premiere on Thursday night, will plus be

posted.

Why? I imagine a boardroom conversation that sounded something like that:

• NBC Exec. A: Heh. We showed them. We’ll construct a bundle on the new stuff and thereupon, bam! We slam the door in December. Cha-ching!
• NBC Exec. B: Um, sir? They’re going to pull all of our stuff immediately. No new shows.
• NBC Exec. A: *Wilhelm scream* B-But, they can’t do that.
• NBC Exec. B: It’s done, sir.
• NBC Exec. A: Damn. Get Jobs on the phone.

Thanks to everyone who sent that in.
