Like most 'free' sites, they will gather a large set of customers, add a pricing model and enough will stay and pay to make it worth while. Also, there will be a time limit that online advertising revenue will cover costs (perhaps this has already been reached) and we have paid for some of this service through our cable subscriptions. Lastly, networks need to wake up and understand their customer needs. Yes, free is good, but really we are after on demand, easily accessible TV when we want it, not when the networks show it.
