All I want is CNBC and baseball. I can subscribe to MLB.tv which covers baseball, but as far as I can tell there is not a reasonable way to get CNBC a la carte.

All I want is CNBC and baseball. I can subscribe to MLB.tv which covers baseball, but as far as I can tell there is not a reasonable way to get CNBC a la carte. Paying for CNBC Pro is $30/month and that seems more than I'd like to pay.
- listenallyall 6y agoCNBC averages around 250k primetime viewers (under 200k during the day). Its top show attracts fewer than 400k. Imagine how much lower viewership would be if it wasn't a "free" channel. There's essentially no economic model that allows them to stay in business in an a-la-carte world. But if they are guaranteed to be in 80 or 100 million homes via bundling, then yes it can (and does) work. https://ctv.kwayisi.org/networks/cnbc/ https://ctv.kwayisi.org/networks/cnbc/
- adrr 6y agoAccording to wiki CNBC has the highest income audience of any cable station and made $300+mm on $600mm+ in revenue. I’d watch it but I don’t have cable, I bet they are missing a bunch of Ad revenue from people who cut the cord.

- bretpiatt 6y agoOf the channel bundle streaming services I believe the $35/mo for Sling Blue + News Extra is most affordable way to get CNBC. https://www.sling.com/channels/cnbc https://www.sling.com/channels/cnbc
