New episodes of the reality show "Survivor" will be sold through the CBS.com website as well as Google Video and Comcast. CBS has been selling episodes of shows like CSI and Survivor through Comcast On-Demand, and through the new Google Video service. Soon, CBS will add another outlet for video content: CBS.com. Now, next-day episodes of Survivor, which starts a new season on Thursday, go on sale on the CBS website. CBS selling their hit shows through Apple's iTunes store, CBS choosing Google Video over iTunes seemed odd. I suggested on January 20th UPDATE! This article has been edited based on new information provided by CBS. The major point of contention was Reuters' direct statement that CBS plans "now cuts out the distributor," which CBS said is incorrect. Also, revenue will be shared with affiliates, not split; CBS thinks 'split' implies a specific 50/50 proposition and felt 'share' would be more accurate. Google also affirmed the agreement with CBS is still in place. Many thanks to both fine companies for providing their feedback and allowing the opportunity to publish this correction. document.write("Email Murdok here.") Drag this to your Bookmarks.

UPDATE: CBS, Survivor Won't Vote Off Google Video
