“ABC News and NBC News announced plans Tuesday (May 24) to offer podcasts, the rapidly growing mobile technology,’ Paul J. Gough reports for The Hollywood Reporter.
“ABC News launched its podcast through its Web site, ABCNews.com, offering immediately a combination of original and repurposed content. Among the original content will be ‘The AfterNote,’ a two- to three-minute wrapup of the daily’s political news modeled on ABC News’ blog ‘The Note.’ There also is original material and segments from such ABC News shows as ‘Nightline’ and ‘Good Morning America,'” Gough reports
“NBC News’ podcasts will be available in June on MSNBC.com, with initial efforts to be repurposed content, according to NBC News Internet and technology consultant Jeff Gralnick. That includes hourly updates from NBC, clips from shows like ‘Today’ and headlines from MSNBC.com, as well as clips from interviews on ‘Hardball’ and the top story from MSNBC’s ‘Countdown.’ He said that original NBC/MSNBC podcasts would be available soon,” Gough reports. “On Tuesday, Apple announced that the next version of its iTunes software will include podcasting and podcatching capabilities, a move that is expected to encourage the medium’s growth.”
