Craig, it's funny how you keep asking that, even to the point of writing
in another post:

I can't tell whether "go figure" means you can't understand this, or
whether you're being sarcastic. If it's the latter, then you answered
your own question.
Whether a Disney, a Scripps Howard, or a Sinclair owns the OTA network,
the same "go figure" applies. What matters to these companies is to make
revenue from the service. You don't need a subscription fee to create
revenue. Even AOL could figure that out.
