NBC pulled off iTunes for 2 reasons - the iTunes DRM didn't go far enough and they didn't like that they couldn't set the price to what they wanted.
Hell, House, a Fox show, was pulled off iTunes because it is produced by NBC Productions.

Gabriel asked if it was wrong for consumers to make copies of music which they have purchased, even just one copy. Pariser replied, "When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song." Making "a copy" of a purchased song is just "a nice way of saying 'steals just one copy'," she said.
