Their Movies are usually number 1 and all this summer they've basically hel number 1 slot..
I was just thinking that certain things at iTunes were too expensive, and NBC wants higher prices?
Take a paycut like the rest of us you hacks.

NBC Universal: They remind m a Lewis nbc 4 dc line that I cannot quote here due to language (It's in the Rules of Enragement CD under the track "Greed";
And I bought that CD on iTunes).Granted, the only TV shows I have bought off of iTunes were South Park Season 10, an episod The Daily Show, and nbc 4 dc Soup multi-passes, but still, this will bite NBC more than Apple.
Let's see how fast NBC Universal runs back to Apple after the new 6G iPod video with its rumored fullscreen display and touchscreen controls show up in only a few days.

Here's sometihn interesting..http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=349148NBC claim y wanted to put lower prices(In the form of bundling eps for a lower price then buying one at a time) and make apple make it harder to send out copies of the stuff(Despite never really nbc 4 dc a way to nbc 4 dc the DRM off iTunes videoes, and i've tried searching, a lot)Then there is thisQuote: NBC refutes Apple's price claims, pledges iTunes showsBy Aidan MalleyPublished: 07:20 PM ESTNBC Universal has rejected claims by Apple that it wanted to more than double the pric TV shows on iTunes -- and has also contradicted threats that new NBC shows would disappear from the iPod maker's online store.In a statement to the press, NBC flatly dismissed Apple's contention that the TV studio's ultimate goal had been to charge $4.99 per show, more than twice as much as today's $1.99 rate.
The actual goal has been to institute "flexibility in pricing" and bundle shows together in more "attractive" ways, said NBC's executive vice president of communications, Cory Shields.The studio also insisted that all of its existing shows would see new episodes available for sale through iTunes in spit Apple's declaration mid-Friday that it wouldn't carry updated NBC programming nbc 4 dc the fall season.
The company did not say how it intended to force Apple nbc 4 dc agree to the terms, but appeared to use its existing contract as leverage."We want consumers to know that all our returning series, including new episodes, will be available on iTunes through the remainder of the contract, which expires in early December," said Shields.
"Our content is also available on NBC.com, Amazon.com, an soon-to-launch hulu.com."The statement reiterates NBC's cautious approach to renewing its contract with Apple, leaving a window open for the the two firms to resolve their dispute before the end of the contract.
But in a counter to Apple's own allegations, NBC argued that its would-be partner wa unreasonable firm in the dispute, attempting to keep prices at its media store fixed in a way that favors sales of iPods and iPhones above the show mselves."It is clear that AppleÂ’s retail pricing strategy for its iTunes service is designed to drive sales of Apple devices," Shields asserted," at the expens those who create the content that make these devices worth buying."The confirmation of variable pricing as a sticking point for NBC reveal seriousness of the issue for its parent company Vivendi.
July saw NBC's sister company Universal Music Group drop its long-term contract for iTunes music, choosing instead to offer music "at will" so long as nbc 4 dc maintained its flat 99-cent song pricing.
Warner Music and other larger labels have also made similar arguments, but aren't known to have abandone ir own contracts.
Basically, as long as hulu.com fails, we'll get NBC back on iTunes
