Apple Considers Lowering Price for TV Shows, Pricing Disputes Likely to Continue

Sep 7, 2007  •  Post A Comment

One week after jettisoning NBC from iTunes over a pricing dispute, Apple is now considering cutting the price of television shows in half, according to Variety.
That would bring the cost of TV shows in line with songs at 99 cents.
According to Variety, Apple believes the 99 cent price could dramatically improve sales of TV shows on iTunes.
Pricing disputes with Apple are likely to continue. Last Friday NBC said it would not renew its contract with Apple because the network wanted more pricing flexibility, reportedly to charge $5 for a show. However, earlier this week NBC inked a deal with Apple competitor Amazon.com to offers its shows for $1.99 on the Amazon Unbox service.
