$4.99 an episode?!?!?

If you haven’t heard the news, NBC is not renewing its contract with iTunes to sell television shows. According to Apple, a deal was not reached because NBC wanted $4.99 an episode. Yes, $4.99 and episode!!! What are they thinking?

I occasionally pay $1.99 for a television show, but I would never pay $4.99.

Based on that pricing model an entire season would cost about $70-$80!

Is NBC trying to kill the digital download and go backwards in time? This would surely sell more seasons on DVD.

Or is this all part of the Universal-Apple dispute? I never knew this until I read the articles related to this story, but NBC is NBC-Universal.

Thoughts? Leave them below.
