In case CBS is licking its chops too soon, wrt the subscription kickback they would get by moving all their content to MVPDs, here is a counteracting trend that will probably be happening regardless.
The real questions here Bert are: 1. Who gets the first screening of new content;2. Is it necessary to censor the content to neuter it for broadcast TV standards.
Look at the NYTimes article I posted this morning. The value of content is returned over an extended period of time via syndication. The networks cannot get away with pulling their content from broadcast TV in favor of the MVPDs, but they CAN move the first runs to cable and delay release for the broadcast bottom feeders...
