IP Democracy: CBS is Doing Premium VOD via Comcast Cable

CBS is just a dynamo when it comes to leveraging every video platform possible — in addition to announcing today a new video soap opera serial for cell phones, the company has struck a deal with Comcast to offer its content on-demand via Comcast Cable. Comcast will offer for $.99/episode CBS hit shows, including CSI, Survivor, the Amazing Race and Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS).

Episodes of CSI and NCIS will be available up until the day the next week’s episode airs on CBS’ broadcast network. Each episode of Survivor and The Amazing Race, which begin airing in February, will be available for view until the season ends. This announcement comes on the heels of CBS’ pact with Google, announced at CES, that allows per-program viewing purchases via Google Video store.
