NBC Adds Nightly Podcasts
Nov 17th, 2006 | By James Lewin | Category: Video PodcastsNBC News announced Monday that it will offer NBC Nightly News and Meet the Press as free podcasts. While NBC has been streaming its video on MSNBC.com and offering audio of both shows as audio podcasts, this will be the first time that both shows will be available for video download.
“It makes sense to provide the content to viewers in whatever format they prefer,” MSNBC.com deputy editor Randy Stearns said. He said that MSNBC.com still believes that streaming ad-supported video-on-demand is what users want.
NBC Nightly News will be available every weeknight at 10 p.m. EST; Meet the Press will be available at 1 p.m. EST, both after their West Coast airings.
