FROM VARIETY: Network won't renew contract deal with Apple

By Ben Fritz and Michael Learmonth of Variety -- Video Business, 8/31/2007

AUG. 31 | FROM VARIETY: Bionic Woman, Journeyman and Chuck won't show up on iTunes anytime soon.

Apple announced on Friday that it will not sell any of NBC's new fall shows on iTunes after talks broke down over a distribution deal that ends in December, and both sides took the dispute public.

"We are disappointed to see NBC leave iTunes because we would not agree to their dramatic price increase," Eddy Cue, Apple's VP of iTunes, said in a statement.

"It is clear that Apple's retail pricing strategy for its iTunes service is designed to drive sales of Apple devices at the expense of those who create the content that make these devices worth buying," NBC Universal exec VP of communications Cory Shields responded.
