Fall Television Shows on iTunes, including NBC

The iTunes Store is now offering content from the fall television season, including a number of free episodes from Fox.

Despite conflicting reports, NBC's new shows, including Chuck and Journeyman, have become available on iTunes. NBC's contract with iTunes expires in December and has not been renewed. As a result, NBC shows will only be available until December of this year.

Apple had originally claimed that NBC's new fall season would not be added to the iTunes Store, but it appears this is not the case.

Maybe this is solely due to contractual obligations.

If so, I wonder why Apple wouldn't just bury the shows in their listings instead of showing "Journeyman" on the front page.

Someone can correct me, but doesn't the season last through December?
If I purchase a "season" is it going to be the full season or just till through the december episodes?

The season goes into the spring (May/June), so who knows what will happen with season passes...

As I've said before Apple and NBC will kiss and make-up. They are both just using the media for leverage. ;)

Yep. And considering any NBC shows that are produced by NBC have not shown up, I think Journeyman and Chuck fall outside of this. The test will be if My Name is Earl shows up on Friday.

I don't think anything's been decided about what to do about season passes that are aborted in the middle.

My understanding is that when December rolls around and there's no deal, all of NBC's back catalog will be pulled off of iTunes.

They are even listed under the NBC category in iTunes now though. It's all very confusing

Surely Heroes would have turned up by now?

if nbc's decision to distribute their digital content through amazon and hulu prove unsuccessful, i'm sure they'll come back to itunes.
