The Jason Salas Experience

I realize that much of the 2,000 clips in the first-run content library available from the new video-enabled iTunes Music Store is going to be from the Disney Family of networks (ABC, Disney, hopefully soon ESPN), but I'm crossing my fingers that Viacom gets with the program and puts its stuff up, too. Despite my skepticism about purchasing TV programming from the iTunes Music Store, and the fact that I work in the TV business notwithstanding, I'd gladly fork over $1.99 per episode for VH1's "I Love the 80's 3D". Like in a heartbeat.

Why? Simple...

• Lasting appeal - I'll watch them over and over and over and over
• Portability - I could transfer files between the desktop and wireless devices (iTunes 6, iRiver, desktop Windows Media Player, iPod, PSP, mobile phone, PDA, Mac, PC, burn to CD)
  
• Lack of current product - I've long been critical of VH1's lack of merchandising for its series
• Faster, on-demand delivery - Guam's cable TV service is tape-delayed, so I'll have to wait 2 weeks after it airs
