Yesterday we posted stats provided by CBS that shows the network is generating millions of video views on YouTube, and the Letterman clips are among the most popular. Yet affiliates are not allowed to post Letterman video on their sites for more than 24 hours, which leads Irwin in comments to say, “We still have to live with your RIDICULOUS limitations in posting Letterman video?…. Seems as if there is a penalty for being an affiliate.” But Michael adds in comments below, “Technically, The Late Show with David Letterman isn’t owned by CBS, so I don’t think it’s fair to blame them for not being able to provide rights to the affiliates to stream the content.”
