Viewers, he said, will pay a premium for quality television, and 21st Century Fox takes that into account during retransmission discussions with providers. "What consumers really want is value," Carey said. "Apple is a testament to that. They weren't successful in being the cheapest; they were successful in providing the great experience."
"That certainly fuels our view of retransmission," he continued. "Networks are still home to the most important and the most viewed content." Charging retransmission for Fox is "a business model that enabled us to continue to invest and grow and not sort of wring our hands," he said.
