Some sneak previews of fall shows
For many of the broadcast networks' new fall shows, interested fans don't have to wait until they actually appear on television. How old-fashioned. [via the Associated Press]
"Many are already available online. The networks are taking different approaches to previewing their shows: CBS and Fox are targeting specific shows, ABC is keeping its shows offline and NBC is doing everything short of coming to your home and setting up your computer.
"The new world order demands a distribution that is anywhere, anytime, anyhow," said Vivi Zigler, executive vice president of NBC Digital Entertainment.
... Video has become available on illegal sites in much the same way as it has for music.
Whether or not the new access makes a difference for the series will be determined in the next couple of months.
"This is the new frontier," said ABC's Benson. "There is a lot of experimentation going on. Nobody really knows where this is going."
