News Corp sticking with iTunes After a week of rumors that it would follow suit with NBC Universal's decision to pull TV programming from iTunes, News Corp president Peter Cherin confided the company has no plans to pull any programming.
Cherin did however agree with some of NBC's argument and feels that the networks should have more control over how much is charged for their programming.

"Right now, we have a perfectly good relationship with Apple,"
Cherin added.

The quote and NBC's decision cannot possibly be good news for Apple, but only time will tell where the programmer discontent will lead to.
