New Corp. exec expects ‘dicey’ negotiations with iTunes
Don Day September 16th, 2007
On the heels of NBC’s tussle with Apple over distribution of shows in iTunes (LR archive) comes news of another possible battle on the horizon: “We have a pretty limited relationship with Apple and we’ll see how it goes,” News Corp. president and CEO Peter Chernin told the UK’s Royal Television Society convention (via Reuters) “I assume it will be prickly and dicey and contentious like all negotiations are and like all negotiations should be.”
Apple tells Reuters that the News Corp. deal is not up for renweal soon — so it’s uknown why Chernin is making noise right now.

There are a lot of typos going on, here.
I still watch TV on TV, so I couldn’t care less where these things go. Seems to me, they should all put their programming up for sale on EVERY possible outlet. Kind of like EA releasing Madden for every possible video game system.
Exclusivity’s for jerks.
