Some interesting comments here! Thanks for posting this Bert.
I have highlighted several of Chase Carey's comments:
> The traditional cable TV bundle "is fraying at the edge" as millennials face
> economic pressure and watch more online, Carey said after Fox posted
> first-quarter sales and profit that beat analysts' estimates. Even as Fox
> plots ways to reach consumers on smartphones and tablets, pay TV will remain
> "the primary consumer package for years ago come," he said.
>
> About 15 million U.S. TV households don't subscribe to pay television.
> Programmers like Fox have to figure out how to attract those viewers
> independently without tempting cable and satellite customers to drop their
> subscriptions. They also want to appeal to consumers who have signed up for
> online services like Netflix Inc., instead of traditional TV.
>
> "The key challenge for us is to build these choices in ways that fairly
> compensate us for our content and brands, and do not undermine more
> established business models," Carey said.
