Sites like Hulu and Netflix generate money from content that has already been created. The budget was found to create the initial content and publishing sites like these create residual income from targeted advertising. Great. The content providers know the direction things are heading and probably know $20-30 a month for one channel from each subscriber is a tough pitch. So what's the ingenious model to offset the loss of big money cable television advertisements?

Why does it have to be a channel? For example, why can't I pay $30 for the next season of Game of Thrones, and get episodes as they come out? Sure, it's different from a monthly subscription, because I'm paying for 10 ~ 12 weeks of content (1 ep/week), but it seems like there's a model there somewhere.
