News > NBC to sell Fall TV shows on Amazon

Days after they split with Apple, NBC has partnered up with Amazon's Unbox service to sell its Fall programming at $1.99 an episode. Huffington Post reports that all shows will be added day after they premiere, with the option to purchase an entire season at once. To sweeten the deal, a "good" customer may find themselves getting a discounted offer for other single episodes.
Free pilot episodes of NBC's new fall shows, such as "Bionic Woman" and "Chuck," will appear starting Sept. 10.
The NBC content can be played, without commercials, on the computer screen, or on a TV through a Web-enabled TiVo set-top box.
In an interview, Perrette said NBC Universal might like to sell single episodes of two different shows together, for example, or let customers who have already purchased several episodes buy a full season at a prorated price.
