Whatever content they have isn't the "right" mix to keep the average TV watchers around long enough to score the big ad dollars. I too have been using Hulu a lot and I think it has the mix of content and delivery to make it similar to watching TV on demand which would translate into TV ad dollars. If I were NBC I wouldn't make the move to iTunes, I don't watch anything on it nor would I want to pay. I download Joost after your Hot Topic and was bored with-in a week.
