It's Just A Restless Feeling By My Side

On Sunday mornings around 10:30, political junkies (read: nerds) like myself can face a conundrum: Tune into CBS for "Face The Nation," NBC for "Meet The Press," or ABC for "This Week?" Depending on where you live, you might not have the same timeslot conflicts, but if you're in the same boat as I am, there's now at least something of a solution. From an NBC press release:
"Meet the Press," now in its 59th year, will be the first Sunday morning public affairs program to be available in its entirety, free of charge, on-demand and online beginning at 1:00 pm, ET on Sunday afternoons.
As Lost Remote notes, "NBC says its Meet the Press podcasts are doing well, with 90,000 downloads in November and 25,000 already in the first week of December." TV Newser, meanwhile, has a question in light of all this web hosted programming: "NBC started netcasting the Nightly News several weeks ago. It may offer Today on MSNBC.com too, but do online viewers want to watch three hours of Katie, Matt, Al, and Ann?"

I don't, to be honest. But it's going to be great to be able to catch "Meet The Press" online. Now instead of having to choose between three shows I want to watch I can get "Meet The Press" anytime, provided I'm willing to wait a couple hours.
