NBC News has announced that it will offer “NBC Nightly News” and “Meet the Press” as free video podcasts on the iTunes Store. NBC has been streaming its video on MSNBC.com and offering both shows as audio podcasts, but this will be the first time that the shows will be available for video download. “NBC Nightly News” will be available every weeknight at 10 p.m. ET and “Meet the Press” will be available via video podcast at 1 p.m. ET, both after their West Coast airings. It will be the first full evening newscast available in a video podcast, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Awesome! Between work and working out I often miss the news and wind up getting stuff off of CNN.com or reuters.com.

I also think this is a great idea and fills a much needed void; I just would like it to be available a little earlier, rather than 10pm.

This is great. I’ll be able to watch it before I go to bed. Obivously, they can’t release it any earlier than 10 PM because that would be before it has aired on the west coast. For the sake of their advertisers, they’d be committing suicide to release it any earlier.
