Double dipping?
One thing I don't understand. Broadcast stations make money through ads. The bigger the number of viewers, the more the advertisers pay. That's why the viewer shares the station gets is so important, it determines revenue.
The ads are broadcast on cable or satellite transmissions of these stations so doesn't that increase their viewership and their ad penetration and their revenue from those ads, ads and content they are already broadcasting? It costs them nothing else to send it out on cable or satellite as well. I would think this extra ad revenue without added production cost would be lucrative. WHY are they trying to gouge even more money from subscription fees?
It feels like they are double dipping from ads AND subscriptions?
