Earlier today, I read and heard about “new NBC shows” premieres on iTunes Store. Many question why Apple is carrying these two shows after saying that they won’t be carrying any new NBC-Universal shows, due to their “irreconcilable differences”.
First off, “Chuck” and “Journeyman” are NOT produced by NBC-Universal, but they are only aired by NBC. After the contracts ended, these shows will remains in iTunes Store rosters under its respective production studios.
“Chuck” is produced by Warner Brothers Entertainment, Inc.
“Journeyman” is produced by Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation
Other NBC shows on iTunes Store that are not produced by NBC-Universal:
- “My Name Is Earl” – Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation
- “Scrubs” – Touchtone Television (Disney)
- “Studio 60” – Warner Brothers Entertainment, Inc.
- “Days of our Lives” – Corday Productions Inc.
Other Sci Fi (owned by NBC Universal) shows on iTunes that are not produced by NBC-Universal:
- “Stargate Atlantis” (Sci Fi) – SONY MGM Production
- “The Dresden Files” (Sci Fi) – Lions Gate Television, Inc.
The shows above most likely will stay on iTunes Store after NBC Universal contracts ends, under its respective production studios.
