Engadget notes that both The Financial Times and Business Week are reporting signs of renewed mutual respect between NBC and iTunes, from recent public comments by Apple's Steve Jobs and NBC-Universal's Jeff Zucker.
Could a reunion between the iTunes Store, and NBCU's television products (including BATTLESTAR GALACTICA), be not far behind?
As Engadget puts it:
No telling what has caused the turnabout. Perhaps the writers strike gave both parties time to reflect on their mounting lost revenue. Or maybe it's residual goodwill on the heels of Universal inking an iTunes rental deal. Whatever the case, it will be good to see NBC's content return to iTunes whenever the strike might end.
Cross your fingers, fandom.

Please PLEASE be true! I want bsg on my ipod again!
I sent emails to all concerned stating that I lived outside of cable and satellite access...and that iTunes was the only place I could get unpirated episodes from public terminals, since I live in the wilderness, in a gorge with no view of the southern sky.
I also told them that I buy BOTH iTunes and DVD versions. Unbox does not work with me because it won't let me play purchased episodes on a computer without repeatedly trying to keep an internet connection open. iTunes doesn't do that.
Like Adama, I am extremely adverse to network connections on MY BATTLESTAR!

Good for you! I agree, it's always better to be able to DL a copy you bought, than to stream.
