NBC, CBS Join ABC in Selling Shows

So once again consumers are going to be offered a dizzying array of choices. The two networks announced this week that both will be selling a limited number of shows at 99 cents, a full dollar less than ABC. NBC is partnering with DirecTV while CBS chose to hook up with Comcast, which makes it look more like the two networks are doing nothing but sticking their toes in the water to see how cold or hot it is.

While I’m not particularly thrilled with any of the three plans they each seem to have something going for them. I’m hopeful that with the networks new attitude towards video-on-demand that they can iron out the differences and come up with a better across the board plan. We’ll see.
