I’m miffed at NBC this week because there’s no Las Vegas (hehe), but they countered with some good news, pardon the pun.

NBC News announced Monday that “NBC Nightly News” will soon become the first and only network newscast to be offered free on the Internet in its entirety.

This starts worlwide November 7, will follow every TV broadcast and will be available here: dailynightly.msnbc.com. What would make this news better is if they simultaneously broadcast it and provided helper links similar to what Zinio does to magazines (hyperlinking links mentioned in magazines), but then maybe that will be coming in v2.0?

I hope this starts a trend of more networks integrating and sharing content with the web instead of treating the web like some cancerous pirate network. It’s time to think differently.

Apple very well might be to credit with their iTunes video store which has sold one million videos in the first 20 days. I wrote on Oct 13: “You know, I wouldn’t be too surprised if a bunch of people do buy these videos from Apple.”

Now with this streaming news free after the show to the web, I won’t be surprised if ABC and Fox join suit. Who will be the first to step up, be brave, and simulcast with web interaction making the web version superior?

It’s coming.

Did this post make you go hmm?
