ABC will not release full episodes before they premier on traditional television  but, of course, shows will be available on ABC.com’s full-screen video player. 

CBS will be creating short form versions of its long form shows specifically for the internet and “taking [their] content to where the eyeballs are.”

John Miller, chief marketing officer at NBC Universal Television Group says, “We generally feel (that) if someone has seen a show and liked the show, they will tell others and come back for more regardless of where they saw it.  That builds ratings.” 

No kidding?
