This is a first: according to this Wall Street Journal article, Warner Brothers will allow local stations that buy the syndicated reruns of Two and a Half Men to stream the reruns on their web site. The episodes that will be streamed are the ones that aired on the channel the previous week. This may start a trend, as syndicators may start offering episodes of other shows -- the article said "think Friends and Seinfeld" -- for streaming. You know, because those shows are so hard to find as it is.[Thanks for the tip, Todd!]

Just this morning I was thinking to myself "Self, don't you wish there was a way to see more of Charlie Sheen on the internets?" And lo and behold, my wish was granted.

I love the times we live in. Soon, in addition to not watching this show when it's on TV, I'll also be able to ignore it on streaming!
But seriously, even though TV episodes are all the rage in the iTunes store and some networks are putting their shows available on their websites for free (although ad-supported), would this be attractive/profitable to local stations? I mean, don't they feel threatened by the push towards non-linear programming as it is?
