How much does NBC make per viewer of a show?
Can an economists or ad executive answer this for me?
How much does the network typically make from each viewer of a show? That is, take the revenue the network earns from the advertisers for the show divided by the number of viewers of the show. My guess is that this number is much much less than $5 let alone $2.
If it's much less than $2, then why would NBC be demanding these absurd prices?
Personally, I'd like to eliminate advertising completely, and move to a system where we pay for our programs without the influence or time-wasting of advertisers.
