Kevin Spacey urges TV channels to give control to viewers

[Volaris]

10. ala carte cable would be sooooo bad-ass,

and they (the netowrks/channels) would make so much money it would make the janitors grandchildren into millionares lol.

Just imagine, an audience that you can market to that has paid you specifically for the privledge of selling them stuff. Even at 5 bucks a month for "basic" channels, and maybe 10 for premiums like HBO/Showtime, you'd make a sick amount of money. Yeah, most people will only buy probably 5 channels, but they are DEDICATED, REPEAT CUSTOMERS, because you are selling them EXACTLY what they want, and nothing else.

Yeah, some people will pay for Golf Channel, FoxNews and Duck Dynasty (though, I have no fuckin' IDEA why), and yeah, some will pay you for Al-Jezeera and BBC and PBS. Either way, you make money and keep your customers happy. It also has the added benefit of actually empowering that "invisible hand" that everyone claims to love so much...because if most of America decides that Duck Dynasty really ISN'T worth paying 5 bucks a month for, your crap programming won't be on air for very long, and that's a GOOD THING.
