Re: It's the revenue Do broadcast networks need ANY subscriber revenue to create "big dollar content"? Other than the ridiculous retransmission fees, I thought advertising paid their bills.
How much do MSOs pay per subscriber for broadcast network retransmission fees? Whatever this amount is, add to it something for Apple/Netflix/Service X and you'll have what's fair. |

In the end you'll be paying the same amount or more. You think those who work in the TV industry are going to voluntarily take a pay cut so you can watch TV on the cheap? LOL. |

9 out of 10 broadcast networks do NOT create the content except for the local "news". They license that content from the actual network who owns it.
The local broadcasters do NOT have to charge retransmission fees; they can force the providers to carry their channel; but yet REFUSE to because they wish to get the $$$$ for their "award winning news". MSOs need to tell those provides to *uck off and walk away. see how well they do then; or do pay them and move their channel up to a digital tier or out of the local broadcast. Due to once they require payment; they're not required to be on a local broadcast tier. |

They do that and subscribers leave.
In the end who blinks first? The cable companies don't have an original product. They are for the most part dumb pipes. |
