A few weeks ago I talked about how Netflix is planning to move into the online video space. Well, it launched its first big foray into that this week by signing up with NBC Universal (press release here). Netflix subscribers will now be able to watch NBC's shows (like "Heroes" and "The Office") on Netflix the day after they're aired. All this is only for the US, of course.
Meanwhile, this now becomes the third distribution channel that NBC has signed up with (post iTunes) in order to distribute its content. The fourth is still in private beta. Last 100's Daniel Langendorf is keeping score.
