CBS launches Innertube
First ABC launched an online streaming 'channel' which featured reruns of primetime programming, and now CBS has launched innertube. You won't find episodes of CBS's primetime programming on innertube, though. CBS has developed online only content, like Greek to Chic, a makeover show for frat boys, and tie ins to Survivor.
innertube uses RealPlayer to stream the video, so once more Mac users can get into the fun.

That's certainly the first time I've ever seen "RealPlayer" and "fun" in the same sentence.

Funny graphic.
Frat boy hands thrust exthusiastically skyward, displaying the Ameslan sign for "I Love You" and not the "RAWK ON, DUDE!" devil horns we might reasonably expect.
Who did the image, somebody's Mom?
:^D

I dont know about anyone else, but that player sucked on my comp. it was jerkey and slow to respond. and the shows were sub-par. and the ads were terrible. i agree with bit torrent. i think there was a wmp choice in there also leo, but they should have qicktime

Sure, the video delivery system is bad...
But let's focus on the real problem:
They don't have any good content!!! It's all crap!
Do they have Letterman repeats? Nope. Just a Pearl Jam performance.
Of course, part of the problem is they don't have ANY good primetime shows -except for the legendary 60 Minutes.
A little advice for CBS:
Either do online content ALL THE WAY, or don't do it at all.
Why are all of these greedy corporations (Music, TV, Cable) so STUPID?!?
Just accept the future, and start giving us quality on-demand content for a reasonable price!
