Abstract

Summary Firms that want to make profits from selling television entertainment to large audiences are confronted with three major problems: quality uncertainty, entertainment resale, and competition from their own future. Free television, subscription television and pay-per-view provide different solutions to each of these problems. Combining all three contractual forms of selling television entertainment enables firms to increase profits through price-quality-discrimination.
