The amount of money people plunk down on a monthly cable or sat tv subscription (anywhere between $60 – $150/month) has to shift and fragment, benefiting those who produce the best content. After all, how many people subscribe to watch only one to three shows per week? That’s a lot of dough for something which I, for one, would prefer to pay a premium for only the content that’s of interest to me.

Is it possible that media companies are leaving money on the table by not offering the PPV model for all of their content?
