Engadget recently ran a story thread that seems very telling:
http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/nbcs-zucker-hints-at-content-returning-to-itunes/
Recently the Financial Times has reported comments from Jeff Zucker (head honcho at NBC) that, "We've said all along that we admire Apple, that we want to be in business with Apple." and that, "We're great fans of Steve Jobs." More interesting, BusinessWeek has reportedly published recent comments from Steve Jobs on the situation, saying "We'll put it back together on the TV thing. Everybody lost. But NBC is a great company, and Apple is a great company."

Mm. Yes... yes, I'd appreciate that quite a bit. NBC better damn well sign a new contract before settling with the writers strike though. I can't imagine that would work in their favor.
