What Major Change to Cable TV Could Be on the Horizon? | TheBlaze.com

On TheBlaze radio Monday morning, Glenn Beck asked his listeners to continue petitioning their cable providers to get TheBlaze TV. He said it seems cable providers are not listening to some of their customers by, say, providing Al Jazeera and not content like that hosted by TheBlaze TV.
Verizon Looking Into System That Pays Programmers for Number of Viewers Not RatingsAt the same time, Verizon has announced its hopes for a demand-based system that would entice smaller channels and outlets by paying them per view.
As Verizon’s Chief Programming Negotiator Terry Denson put to in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the company is paying for “a customer who never goes to the channel.”
Denson said Verizon’s FiOS TV would like to open the door to a “significant number of channels” but the deal would be they only get paid per “unique view” per month or when a viewer watched programming for more than five minutes.
