A simulcast because the main program is already the most expensive

on the servers and automation schedules, it increases eyeballs by
those still using appointment TV, and I suspect those watching live
are less likely to skip the commercials. To me it is a no-brainer
to use the same (but down-scaled) content but also pick up the
mobile viewers if it can be made to work acceptably.
"No-brainer" is the operative word here.
Unfortunately, if broadcasters take the NO-BRAINER approach they will
have NO MARKET except for sports, and as John correctly points out,
they will need to negotiate for rights for this service, which
implies it won't be free.
