If you don't subscribe to the station's local news RSS feed, you're missing the mere beginning of unbundling at WKRN. Be patient, please, Kevin.

If it is a bad strategy for the networks, isn't it a bad strategy for WKRN? WKRN evidently shares the beliefs of NBC and CBS, as the videos at WKRN.com are not downloadable.

If it is a bad strategy for the networks, isn’t it a bad strategy for WKRN?

basically, the more distribution points, the more opportunities for content to be found. if nbc really thought out their move, they could’ve innovated a "channel" partnership with a youtube or a google. instead, they reverted to old media thinking of "protecting their property."

it’s 101 fear of pomo.

Not so by forcing users into closed networks, which they simply won't use. We're so past the browse/discover phase of the internet. The real question is why the networks have sat back and let others build various distribution portals without getting into the business themselves.

Where's the business creativity on the part of the networks? no reason they couldn't monetize as the content gets distributed. It's also ironic that ex-corporate sister Comedy Central allows YouTube to distribute clips! great post.
