Bottom line for the existence of television= to make money. Network television shows support both audiences and advertisers. Different economic models in television network/ content outlets: broadcast networks: the only true networks nbc, cbs, abc, fox, the cw, univision, telemundo, pbs. Network tv= less risk taking because still based on the system where trying to get the most people more broad, general shows rather than niche shows. Mainly funded by carriage fees from pay tv operators (comcast, verizon), but also by advertising revenue. Two revenue streams: carriage fees/ license fee revenue 58%= tv operators paying for the right to carry a cable channel. Measured per month per subscriber bill and are paid from pay tv operators to channels: the more valuable the show, the more money from the carriage fee it brings in.
