Panel Removes Premium Tag Cablevision Places on YES
A few more details have emerged regarding the result of the YES/Cablevision arbitration. Cablevision (and most or all of the other cable systems carrying YES) will pay $1.93/month for YES this year, with annual rate increases of 4% through March 31, 2009. YES is now expected to receive about $58 million/year from Cablevision customers alone, up $20 million from last year when YES was a premium channel.
YES is reportedly available in about 8,000,000 cable households. Assuming all pay at Cablevision's rate of $1.93/month, YES's revenues from subscribers alone should reach $15,440,000/month, or $185,280,000/year.
