NBC: "No limit" to content for iTunes

Broadcasting and Cable spoke with NBC Universal Television Group President Jeff Zucker recently, and they briefly touched on the iTunes/iPod deal. Zucker said that it's NBC's intention to get their content onto as many screens as possible, no matter what the size: "We see [content on iTunes] as a brand-new business, and it will be run like any television network, with new material refreshed and replenished all the time. I don't think there's a limit as to how many shows we can have available."

No limit? Great, I'll take classic episodes of Cheers, Seinfeld and Emergency! (I loved that show as a kid). Zucker also stated that Battlestar Galactica is being downloaded from iTunes at a rate of 500,000 times per week (which is actually up from the 436,000 pre-iTunes, illegal estimate). The message there is that people want portable content. Are you listening, Fox? I want Mulder and Scully on my iPod!
