A quick note about something I found interesting last week. HBO bought some time in the 9:00 hour on NBC last Thursday for Flight of the Conchords spots. This is the first time I can remember HBO buying broadcast time (If I am wrong, please let me know). HBO and NBC are owned by different conglomerates, making this a unique purchase.
I think it is a great buy. The demos for The Office and 30 Rock have to be pretty similar to FOC, and 30 Rock is attracting a higher income demo, which assists HBO’s quest for possible subscribers.
