Why don't they show previews of upcoming episodes when you watch online?

Question

I watch a lot of shows online, mostly at ABC.com. But it bothers me that they don't show a preview for the next episode at the end like they do when watching the regular episode on television. Does anyone know if there is a site or something where you can see the preview for the next week?

Answer 1

because you don't have to pay for them.



if you watched them online there would be no reason for you to watch them on the the TV channel.

Answer 2

They don't show it because the website is (mostly) commercial free; they have different sponsors and methods for advertising, and the preview of the next episode is not a part of the show; it's a commercial. I'm not aware of a website where you can go to watch the preview.

Answer 3

Depends on what you are watching. I have gone directly to the NBC web sites and they have previews and clips all the time. Same thing for Comedy central and some of the CBS shows that you can watch when you have a full subscption to Realplayer/Realone.

You can also see previews of shows and movies that people may have posted on you tube.
