NBCU: We Made Only $15 Million Off iTunes

No doubt in an effort to build up its own recently launched Hulu service, NBC Universal chief Jeff Zucker criticized Apple yet again over its unwillingness to work with the company.

At a Syracuse University benefit, Zucker claimed that NBCU had only made $15 million off of its video deal with iTunes, and said it was unfair that Apple had made millions off of iPod sales and was not sharing any of the revenues with content providers.

"Apple sold millions of dollars worth of hardware off the back of our content and made a lot of money," Zucker told attendees according to a story in Variety. "They did not want to share in what they were making off the hardware or allow us to adjust pricing." NBCU sees this as almost a crime considering the studio's content counted for four out of every ten videos sold on the service. Apple had no immediate comment on Zucker's latest comments.
