As yet another sign that online distribution has hit the big time, CBS adds its big name properties to iTunes. The three CSIs, Survivor and NCIS join Numb3rs on Apple’s iTunes service. Prices are $1.99 and the only shows available are from the 2005-2006 season.
We think the upcoming 2006-2007 season could be the year where online TV finally really takes off. We predict almost all the top rated shows being moved to either iTunes or some proprietary distribution so viewers can catch up on episodes they’ve missed. ABC’s done it already with their own free online streaming, and where one network goes, the other networks will surely follow.
