Amazon.com subsidiary CustomFlix Labs today said they’d reached agreements with NBC Universal, A&E Home Video and PBS to begin making available popular broadcast content via a new “DVD on Demand†service on the Amazon.com Web site. Financial terms of the deals were not disclosed.
Under this new DVD on Demand service, said CustomFlix, content from television programming networks’ vast library of normally archived material is being encoded and distributed on to DVDs as consumers select and purchase them online. For NBC, this includes a wide variety of titles such as the “Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show” and a compilation of popular “Where in the World is Matt Lauer?” segments from the “Today” show. More NBC titles are being added on an ongoing basis, with many DVDs being pre-sold during the initial airing of the broadcast.
