Basically, for rural distribution Trump needs to negotiate carriage rights on Dish Network and DirecTV as a $5.99 premium channel add on for those that want it. Pretty much anyone rural who has no broadband has satellite tv because there’s nothing else available.
Premium channel access on Dish/DirecTV along with the streaming access for everyone else who has broadband will do it.
This is the best way to go as any Trump branded cable TV channel simply won’t make money as Trump is persona non Grata with advertisers. The liberals will boycott and riot on any Trump advertiser. Ad-free subscription is the right play. Trump is a businessman. He’s not stupid.
Now, a lot of his supporters won’t pay $5.99 a month for his channel but he doesn’t need 73 Million to subscribe to make a killing. He only needs 5-10 Million and I think he can get it.
“Pretty much anyone rural who has no broadband has satellite tv because there’s nothing else available.”
No they don’t. They may get 1-2 network channels and have a slow speed internet, but no broadband or satellite dish.
