In a report posted on TV Guide.com, NBC-Universal is said to "not be renewing its fall contract" to release shows like Battlestar Galatica, 30 Rock, and USA Network's Psych along with the rest of their digital offerings, which total 40% of all sales on iTunes.
Though negotiations are continuing, the primary issue is said to be pricing-iTunes wanting to keep the .99 and 1.99 pricing currently listed, NBCU wants to offer different packages, at different price points.
A VP at iTunes has said "We are disappointed to see NBC leave iTunes because we would not agree to their dramatic price increase," then revealed that all NBC-Universal shows would be removed from the library at the onset of the current fall season.
