NBC announced they will (finally!) make full episode streaming of Medium available on their website in March.
BURBANK, Calif. — February 27, 2007 — NBC.com today announced plans to stream NBC’s upcoming new mid-season primetime series — “The Black Donnellys,” “Andy Barker, P.I.” and “Raines.” In addition, in an innovative promotion, NBC.com will be streaming all produced episodes of “Andy Barker” as well as the “Raines” pilot before their broadcast dates. The site also will have bonus episodes of “The Black Donnellys” and “Andy Barker” which will be Web-exclusives. The popular primetime series “Medium” and the alternative series “Identity” will also begin streaming in March.
The announcements were made by Vivi Zigler, Executive Vice President NBC Digital Entertainment and New Media.
“Consumers are responding enthusiastically and in great numbers to our streaming,” said Zigler. “Our research is telling us that our users are finding it convenient and easy to view our programming on NBC.com and, in most cases, are treating our site like their own DVR.”
Additionally, this spring, NBC.com will offer viewers a chance to catch up on the full season of both “Heroes” and “Friday Night Lights” by streaming all episodes, beginning with the pilots of each program.
With the addition of these four shows, NBC.com will offer full episode streaming of 13 primetime and daytime series. Streaming programming includes “The Apprentice,” “Heroes,” “30 Rock,” “Las Vegas,” “Friday Night Lights,” “Passions,” “Studio 60,” “My Name Is Earl,” “Identity,” “Medium” and the new mid-season offerings.
NBC earlier announced that the mid-season drama “Raines” will debut on Thursday, March 15 (10-11 p.m. ET) followed by a second episode on March 22 before the series settles in its regular day and time on Friday, March 30 (9-10 p.m. ET). Full Press Release
I like the part where they say “Consumers are responding enthusiastically and in great numbers to our streaming.” Translation: We received a buttload of comments on the NBC site saying, “Geez, what’s wrong with you guys? You have full episodes of other shows, why not these? Get with the program!”

It seems kind of embarrasing by contrast when NBC says, catch a 2 minute replay on NBC.com compared to the other nets that allow the entire episode to be downloaded!
Glad they will offer this service and hopefully it will count in the ratings.
Notice they called Medium a “popular primetime series!” They consider Medium popular? I am glad they are finally appreciating this gem they have had for quite some time. And after last night’s episode, how can anybody not love this show?!!
They, in case you havn’t checked, nbc.com/medium has some new videos up. They have interviews with Eric Stoltz, Patricia Arquette, and Miguel Sandavol about We Had a Dream and a behind the scenes video for next week’s episdoe!
I’m glad they’re finally going to stream Medium! I wish they would also please fix the title bar at the top of the nbc.com/medium pages that says the show is “staring Patricia Arquette.” I know it’s a picky thing, but OMFG that drives me nuts. She stares a lot, but come on already!
