NEW YORK NBC Universal said it has informed Apple that it would not renew its current contract with the technology giant to sell its programming via the iTunes Music Store. The deal expires at the end of December.

Executives at the company declined to comment further, but did confirm that the decision was made at this time to avoid an automatic renewal of the deal, which would kick in if NBCU took no action within 90 days of the expiration of the contract.
