I can't tell if you're arguing for or against bundling, but bundling is what can allow some channels to be given a chance. If I remember correctly Disney/ABC, Viacom, Time Warner, etc use bundles as a way to introduce new channels. They negotiate a price down on a popular channel, say ESPN, provided the service carries a newer station like Comedy Central or Viceland.
- Retric 10y agoDisney could just subsidize 'the puppy channel' or whatever with their own money and have a free 3 month trial to get people hooked. Really, it's just a question of what they get from all their channels (X + Y + ...). If Y = 0billion and X = 10billion that's the same as Y=1billion and X = 9billion. PS: Ok, their might be some accounting magic so it's useful for channel Y not to be profitable.
