Fox is among the winners in the latest round of retransmission consent deals, reportedly receiving upwards of $1 per month per subscriber from cable systems. Now the network wants 75-80% of that from its affiliates (after all, they argue, it's their programming that makes the affiliates' signals valuable). If not, Fox seems to be threatening to move the channel to cable/DBS distribution, bypassing the over-the-air broadcast stations that now serve as its affiliates.
