Do people really want to pay an extra $2-$3/episode for @AMC_TV, when already paying $60+/month for @dish ????  http://dthin.gs/NwpL4z 4zpkafkaka

@richgreenfield1 Nope. But @zseward doesn't get DISH or any other pay TV. He's psyched to pay $2 (or less, via season pass) per ep

@pkafka @zseward Sure, BUT given lack of success of iTunes TV downloads to-date, does not seem like most consumers want to watch TV that way

@pkafka @richgreenfield1 So psyched. Curious about how AMC, Apple, cablers influence timing of new episodes' release on iTunes. Any insight?

@zseward @richgreenfield1 Apple takes it when it can get (tho curious got it before AMZN). For now, main players are AMC, Sony (studio)

@zseward @richgreenfield1 but DISH is trying to argue that payTV guys *should* have say about that window

@richgreenfield1 @zseward yup. BUT if cord-cutting ends up growing beyond novelty/vegan status, that stuff becomes more important.

Rich Greenfield@richgreenfield1

@pkafka @zseward agreed, but its very easy to alter. If cord-cutting grows beyond niche, just make fewer episodes available or a longer-wait

@pkafka @zseward do you really think people are not subscribing to @dish because BB is on iTunes day after airing or @netflix a year later?

@richgreenfield1 @zseward as we know, real cord-cutter numbers are small. but yes, those that do use iTunes as part of fill-in.

@richgreenfield1 @zseward but yes that's the real q. if trend becomes significant, can they bottle genie - as fox seems to have done w/hulu

@pkafka @zseward or consider AMC_TV where I suspect #WalkingDead will not air next day on iTunes or Amazon unless @dish is resolved

@pkafka @zseward also, not making it available on iTunes fuels piracy more than causing people to not signup for @dish @DIRECTV @comcast

@richgreenfield1 @pkafka More likely, kids downloading BB on iTunes in their dorm rooms may just never subscribe to cable.
