CBS and NBC are introducing replays of your favorite shows for 99cents hot off the back of iTunes payment model.

“All networks are expected to strike deals to make their shows available outside traditional channels in the coming years.

For the networks, these deals could be the first real opportunity to move away from almost complete dependency on advertising and toward subscriber revenue that has created their greatest competition over the last 30 years — cable television.”

I predict this will be a great source of income for these networks and boom goes the dynamite. I will personally NEVER use the 99cent service, but the people without TiVO or other PVR’s and such will.

I’m gonna say the pie chart of usage will skew heavily to Soap Opera watchers, followed by prime time junkies, then the small, but steady group of people that still watch Wheel of Fortune religiously.
