Today CBS and NBC announced deals to offer replays of prime-time programs for 99 cents per episode. This is the big one — the announcement that will change the TV landscape forever.

TiVo, DVR and OnDemand have been around for a while now, but this, along with ABC’s recent deal with iPod Video, finally brings network TV into the new world. I pine for the days when TV is completely on demand and schedules disappear. Perhaps this will never happen completely, but today’s announcement was a big first step.
