My first thought upon seeing that line: Only 40% for programming? I'd think most consumers would believe that most of the cost of cable TV is to cover the cost of the channels subscribed to, especially given the rather high rates already for some channels like ESPN. Obviously there's some costs for digital terminals and infrastructure, but it still makes it sound like it's leaving a lot of profit for TWC. Unless the intention is to have customers believe Disney (alone) is getting 40%? But then I'm probably not the average cable subscriber (and in any event, I'm not a TWC customer). -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
