NewTeeVee is reporting that NBC continues to expand its post-iTunes digital content offerings, with Netflix now added to the list of places you can watch episodes of Heroes, 30 Rock, and other NBC shows.

Epispodes will be available to Netflix subscribers on its web site the day after they air on the network. Past episodes of other NBC shows will also be available.

Netflix is working hard to offer it's subscribers multiple delivery options including DVD by mail and digital download.

We agree with NewTeeVee that the deal seems to make sense for all parties, including consumers.

Hulu is launching a private beta of its web video service. The NBC/Fox venture was formed as a direct reaction to YouTube becoming the number one destination for viewing content owned by the major studios.

Time will tell what role Hulu plays as early reviews are mixed. It adds another player (no pun intened) to the video-on-the-web mix.
