While ABC, NBC, and CBS have been quick to offer up shows on their websites and in iTunes, FOX has been mysteriously silent about the whole online video craze. It's surprising, since FOX tends to take more chances and be more cutting-edge than its competitors. Now we know why. Rupert Murdoch recently told Newsweek he's not convinced that putting television shows online is a good idea (I think NBC would disagree).

Said Murdoch, "We're not knocked out by iPod so far. We've talked to them, to Google and others. But how many people really want to get video on a tiny screen when they already have TiVo or a similar service from their cable company or DirecTV?"
