Chris Albrecht at NewTeeVee has a great post summarizing where network TV shows are available this fall . . . besides the TV. Here’s their very handy chart:
Network | Home Page | AOL | iTunes | Amazon Unbox | Xbox Live |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
ABC | Yes | Yes | Yes | Just The Nine | No |
CBS | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
CW | Just Beauty and the Geek | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
FOX | Yes | Yes | Yes (free for now) | Yes | Yes |
NBC | Yes | Not Yet | For now | Yes | Yes |
I just downloaded the new Kelsey Grammer/Patty Heaton sitcom — for free on iTunes — because I missed it the other night and didn’t think to TiVo it. If this were old-time TV, I’d have been out of luck until rerun season, of course — if the show get to reruns. Now I can watch it when and where I want. How long will it be before the venues above add up to more than broadcast TV for some series? Not as long as you think.
