NBC has no leverage or standing to bully anybody into carrying their library of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and old documentaries culled from the Huntley-Brinkley Report. But of course, NBC is banking on Hulu.com. And they should. After all, the NBBC was such a raging success. And the last time NBC and News Corp. partnered? It was to create Access Hollywood. The show continues, but the partnership cratered long ago. Good for Apple.

I can't believe NBC is throwing away additional revenue and exposure out the door. I bought a season pass to "The Office" from iTunes. It was worth $1.99 an episode to watch it commercial free, and to have it in my archives. Here's the catch. I discovered the show through iTunes - NOT THE NETWORK!. Now I'll DVR it and SKIP THE COMMERCIALS, but I'll miss not having the new shows on my laptop to watch when I travel. BAD MOVE NBC. Hopefully the folks at the peacock network will come to their senses. This is insane. I can’t believe NBC is throwing away additional revenue and exposure out the door.
