Do you even know what subsidizing means? What you just described was a free market at work then called it subsidizing. That's like saying McDonalds subsidizes its salads with big macs. In a free market, a company has to deal with the laws of supply and demand for the products it offers. No matter how hard you look, you will not find a free market here in this duel oligopolistic system.

Of course I do - you, I'm not so sure about. Not all subsidies flow from the state - in this case, profitable channels subsidize unprofitable ones. Like most parents, I'm subsidizing my children's expenses. And so forth.
