- sg214 14y agoHBO's cut is very small (< $3 I think). But the cable and satellite cos pay a fixed fee per base cable/sat sub to HBO but then upsell their own customers and recoup that cost. Using the $20 as a proxy for about what HBO gets, even though it's a lot more complicated than that in reality.
- sureshv 14y agoHBO gets around $8 per subscriber, ESPN for reference gets around $4 but its on the basic tier so it has many more subscribers.
