NBC.com to sell video downloads
Cory Bergman March 9th, 2007
NBC.com is gearing up to expand its online store from DVDs to downloads of NBC TV shows. The downloads will be priced $1.99 in most cases, just like iTunes, but NBC.com plans to experiment with other price points. “The current pricing structure is not equitable,” said Shelli Hill, SVP for NBCU Television Distribution, “when a five-minute video and a 74-minute episode of Saturday Night Live each sell for $1.99.” Launch date is TBA.

Nobody needs 74 minutes of SNL. If they edited each one down to a just-the-good-parts cut, it would end up being not much longer than that five-minute one.

Amen. I think the broadcast should have been cut to 60 minutes years ago. There’s a lot of unfunny crap being put out simply to fill time IMO.
