Deal?
Well, like I said, if the quality of the signal is
choppy like it was last few times, I am not even watching if it is free, I will
listen to the broadcast over netradio.

Pay-per-view would have to be wildly successful in order for WABI-TV to
offer it on a game without live TV (and its revenue).
My guess is that WABI's pay-per-view per game costs are tightly bound to
the number of subscribers, thereby minimizing risk. Do they need 100
PPV subscribers to break even ... I don't know. I do know that even at
$15 a pop, they would need a lot of PPV subscribers to pay production
costs for a game.
So, how many people are there that drive to Alfond regularly, but don't
get WABI-TV ... and would want to pay! $15 for a much less than TV
quality signal?
WABI is betting on an audience ... my guess it will be primarily from "away".
Your thoughts, ME-Hockey? cheers, wayne
