CBS.com to stream hit shows for free
Cory Bergman August 15th, 2006
Following in ABC’s footsteps, CBS plans to stream Survivor, Jericho, Numb3rs and all three CSI series on its broadband player, Innertube, with limited commercial interruption. The shows will be available online the morning after they air on CBS. “It further helps us extend the reach of the CBS brand, provides a new avenue for advertisers to engage with our programming, which in turn creates a new source of revenue for our company,” said Larry Kramer, president of CBS Digital Media. Back in June, CBS firmed up a deal with its affiliates that involves sharing revenue generated from new digital offerings. This is the latest in a series of tectonic shifts that, frankly, would have been ridiculed by the networks 18 months ago. How times have changed. The shows will debut on CBS.com next month.

i’m still bewildered why fox is not leveraging each and every domain name they have registered: myfoxdetroit and myfoxnewyork resolve nowhere.
correct me if i’m wrong.

Makes you wonder what added value local broadcasters bring to the table.

WWE already has a subscription-based on demand service — video quality is a bit choppy at times, but mostly very nice. $3 a month for hundreds of matches from all eras 70’s to now!
