IP Democracy: Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network Offer New Take on VOD

The VOD craze is in full flower — you’d think that television programmers just got wind of this option, which has been around for at least five years. In any event, the latest networks to jump on the VOD bandwagon are Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, according to this Wall Street Journal item.

But in a move that’s bound to doom this specific set of VOD efforts to the interactive TV rubbish heap, the shows will be available for $1.99/pop only on Hasbro’s iPod-wannabe VuGo portable media player. The player is priced at $100 and is heavier and less capable than the iPod.
