Cablevision subscribers can now see more NBC shows on demand

Earlier tonight, I mentioned that networks like NBC are creating cable rerun windows in order to help people without TiVos catch up on their favorite shows (and shows like The Megan Mullally Show, heh). But another way networks are helping people catch up with their shows is by offering them to cable providers' on demand services.Well, at least NBC is. According to TV Week, they are extending the offerings they are providing to Cablevision's digital on demand service to include episodes of L&O:CI, L&O:SVU, and The Office, with Friday Night Lights and Las Vegas coming in October. Customers will be able to access these episodes the day after they air for 95 cents apiece. So it's not free, but it's cheaper than downloading the episode via iTunes. So you get ten or more times the screen size for half the price. Nice.
