According to a post at BetaNews.com, CBS programming will be coming soon to iTunes. "CBS Digital Media president Larry Kramer confirmed the news in an interview with financial site MarketWatch. The plans to offer shows on iTunes is part of a larger initiative aimed at attracting new viewers by providing access to the network's programming in a variety of formats."
For now, CBS is looking to sell episodes of "Survivor" on its own for $1.99 per show, and only on a rental type of system where downloaded material would expire 24 hours after ordering. This is different from Apple's pay once-watch forever download model.

Doomed before it's launched.
Decent programming is what they need. It's like those blogger babes on CNN: beside the point if the content is no good.
I thought the same thing right after thinking, "cool, CBS might just make bank." NOT!!

As far as I'm concerned it is. The whole attraction for me is to be able to catch as catch can. I get a half hour here and there to watch the content I watch. 24 hours isn't enough.
