NBC to sell concert, interviews on iTunes

John Mayer’s performance this Friday on the Today Show’s Summer Concert Series will be available soon after it airs for $3.99 on iTunes. “This offering of John Mayer’s concert on iTunes represents a new way of expanding the reach of our concert series, and is terrific collaboration of the television, technology and music industries,” said Jim Bell, executive producer of Today. The concert will be part of a new iTunes section called “NBC News on Stage” that will feature “memorable, extended conversations with some of the biggest legends of the music world” from the NBC News archives for $1.99 each. NBC already offers archived news content for sale on iTunes.
