Leasing Transponder Time

[TheMissingLink22]

Does anyone know approximately what it costs monthly or yearly to lease transponder time? The reason I was wondering is because I like to follow WWE business and the WWE Network is leasing time on Galaxy 13/Horizons 1 to broadcast into Canada and I was wondering what kind of rate they may be paying for leasing time on a shared transponder like that.

Thanks!

around 4-5k per MHz per month usually.

Also note that these are like MSRP on a car. Actual cost will be adjusted based on uplink services required, demand, and length of contract. 2 meg, multi-year contract on some satellites might be $6k for a basic turn and even less on inclined orbit sats. On other more popular satellites and priority service, $15k+.
