There are "ratings" that they go by. It's more about how many people are watching that channel in a given market at a given time. Not about who is going to buy what, but just the overall number of people watching. It would change the game a little bit though.

The Nielsen Ratings do not factor in any time shifted viewing so this point is meaningless.

Of course they do. They have ratiings for Live+same day, Live+ 1 day, out to Live + 7 days. They even list how much a ratings boost a show gets from DVR watching during the following week.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Who-cares-but-the-Major-players-27197720 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 12:24:13 EDT Re: Who cares but the Major players $$$ http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Who-cares-but-the-Major-players-27195813
That's the whole point.

It is much easier to suggest solutions when you don't know too much about the problem.

But as a content owner I would. The fact is those "feeds" that Dish re-broadcasts are OWNED by the provider. I am quite sure it is in the contract Dish signed. It's also why I can't just re-broadcast a TV stream over my Internet companies lines without getting an agreement as well.

Advertisers don't just base their placement on superficial thoughts of this station is better than the others. There are "ratings" that they go by. It's more about how many people are watching that channel in a given market at a given time. Not about who is going to buy what, but just the overall number of people watching. It would change the game a little bit though. Advertisers pay BIG bucks to place an add at prime time nationally. As an advertiser, I could make the argument that x million people use Dish and can skip those ads. So why should I pay that much.

It's a pretty neat situation Dish placed themselves in. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
