Hi, I was just reading the discussion on the fees paid. I do not think 3000 USD for one channel for one month is too little. If we think for a moment, How big is the Serbo-croatian speaking population in the USA? It is a small population, but large enough to support PinkPlus and RTC, I dont think these stations generate enough revenue from Serb americans to support a 36,000 usd per month fee. Also, I have seen many local news stations that have a channel just for feeds from their satellite truck, certainly these do not run 36,000 per month, no way could most local news stations pay this. Also, think of the local stations from Huntsville Alabama or Tupelo Mississippi....this city has a population of maybee 60,000 people, but they have all of their locals broadcasting FTA. For the 5 local stations that is 2.50 USD per person to broadcast...not to mention probably less than 30% of the people in these communities have any satellite system. Also, Utah university and other universities have 5 stations.... the Horse tracks have their own broadcast singals...there are some stations selling carpets, do they really have the revenue to support 36,000 USD per month??....no way is the fee more than 3,000 USD per month to broadcast.
I can't wait to see
SADOUN TV...
Just some thoughts....
