Ok, having a 'discussion' with a friend about TV and ads. He seems to believe subscription TV services (streaming, cable, SAT etc.) should be ad free since one is paying for it but here is my question - Do TV stations such as AMC, FOX, The History Channel, the Weather channel and tons more, that are typically part of pay services, have to PAY to be a part of that service or do they RECEIVE income from the service?
His 'rant' is because he has a friend who has a subscription service and still sees ads - and he somehow believes this to be 'corporate greed' (don't go there - this friend of mine lives in a very 'sheltered world' and has some very abstract and different thought about things in general...)
If anyone has any experience or knowledge of this I would appreciate it!
