Many Fall TV Shows to Premiere Online First

by Terrence O'Brien, posted Sep 4th 2008 at 1:26PM

Hulu is sure to generate even more buzz this fall with its sudden flood of series and season premieres, many of which are airing on Hulu before they hit TV. In case you miss the premiere or just don't have a TV, you'll be able to head to Hulu and catch many of the best shows on television, including 'The Office,' 'The Simpsons,' 'Heroes,' and 'House.'

Even more interesting is the shows that will be hitting Hulu first. New series like 'Knight Rider' and 'Chuck' will get a test run on Hulu before hitting the networks, but so will established shows like '30 Rock.'

It's nice to see the networks finally embracing streaming video and Internet distribution. Pretty soon you may not need a TV at all. [From: TechCrunch]

NBC to Stream Live NFL Games Online This Fall

by Peter Mychalcewycz, posted Jul 29th 2008 at 9:16AM

In a bid to provide more digital content, the NFL will stream 17 live, regular season games on NBCsports.com and NFL.com. This is the first time that NFL games have ever been streamed live. Football Fans Rejoice!

The video will be courtesy of the NBC broadcast feed, and will feature announcers Al Michaels and John Madden, two of the most respected announcers in sports. The NFL and NBC will likely split whatever online ad revenue emerges from the joint venture. We are sure there will be a lot of it.

Don't think you have to wait long for this to happen either. The season opener between the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins on September 4 will be the first game streamed live.

Nice. [Source: USA Today}

NBC Offering 'The Office' and '30 Rock' for Free on iPhone and Touch

NBC Offering 'The Office' and '30 Rock' for Free on iPhones and iPod Touches

You might remember that last summer NBC announced that it would be pulling its shows off iTunes because it wanted to saddle its videos with more restrictive Digital Rights Management (DRM) and be able to jack up its prices. Regardless of its motives, fans of NBC, Sci-Fi Channel, or Bravo shows who also had iPods and iPhones were out of luck.

But five months after the official end of the iTunes and NBC partnership, there is some hope on the horizon for the fans of at least two of NBC's Thursday-night comedies. The network has launched an iPhone and iPod Touch friendly version of its Web site featuring full episodes of two of its most popular shows, 'The Office' and '30 Rock,' with more to follow, we're sure.

Best of all, the episodes are free, unhindered by DRM, and completely lacking commercial interruption. Just don't exit Safari or you'll be forced to download the videos all over again. [Source: Silicon Alley Insider, Via: Geeksugar]

NBC Clips Back On YouTube, Courtesy of Hulu

by Terrence O'Brien, posted May 2nd 2008 at 2:33PM

You might remember Hulu, the video streaming service backed by most of the major networks, being touted as the legitimate answer to watching episodes of your favorite shows (in 6 pieces) on YouTube. Now in some sort of delicious, cosmic irony, Hulu has dragged the networks back to YouTube where it has created its own channel and is hosting clips from shows from Fox and NBC that can be seen in full on Hulu.

Right now, we only saw about 70 videos of clips from shows like '30 Rock,' 'Arrested Development,' 'Saturday Night Live,' 'Moment of Truth' and 'Family Guy.' We're still waiting for more, but it's a start in getting NBC clips, at least, back on our favorite online destinations . Next stop for NBC's return? iTunes, we hope. [Source: NewTeeVee]
