seems hulu isnt as good of a distribution method as they thought. Although I don't like paying the 2 dollars per tv show, the vertical integration of itunes makes it the easiest solution for myself.
It's also an occasional thing for many people who happen to miss a broadcast show.
The financial benefit I see to iTunes is for people who want to watch only one or two shows from a pay channel like Showtime or HBO but don't want to pay for digital cable, the channel package and box rental fees.
Anyway, I think these rumours will prove to be true. NBC did something pretty stupid. Even if they wanted to start their own ad-based system to kill off an income stream is just bad business.
