‘NBC Nightly News’ Now Shown on the ‘Internets’
The latest johnny-come-lately TV to Internet broadcast:
NEW YORK (AP)—NBC News said Monday that it would begin making its “NBC Nightly News” broadcast available for free on the Internet starting next week.
Past broadcasts will also be archived at the http://www.nightlynews.msnbc.com Web site, the network said.
It’s not necessarily news on demand, though. The newscast, aired at 6:30 p.m. on many NBC stations on the East Coast, won’t be available on the Web until after 10 p.m. ET.
“Many of our viewers tell me they often miss the broadcast because they’re not at home or tending to their busy lives and families,” anchor Brian Williams said. “This new service reflects the fact that the pace of our lives has changed.”
The first newscast available on the Internet will be on Nov. 7.
When asked if he knew what the ‘internets’ were, Brian Williams responded “It’s that thingy that brings in money.”
