HBO, CBS, Showtime ...

They are finding ways to circumvent cable/satellite and open their vast archives direct to viewers — for a fee, of course.

If they find success, more networks may try direct offerings, thus bypassing cable/satellite providers.

[I have not heard whether CBS offerings are commercial-free. Hulu just started offering their programs almost-commercial-free for an increased subscription fee.]

Paramount just opened a large number of their movies via Youtube. Not sure whether they are free or have inserted commercials.

More like they’re chasing the customers that have been moving away from the old distribution methods. Most of the networks already are following this path. Ironically these cheap little web options can quickly add up to a lot more money than cable.
