A linear channel runs about 730 hours every month whether or not anybody is watching, and every concurrent viewer turns that runtime into delivered gigabytes. That is the number a headline price is designed not to meet. An entry tier sized for 10 streaming hours, or a rate quoted per hour, or a plan sized by how long your audience watched, all behave the same way once the channel simply stays on.
So ask any vendor the same two questions before signing: what does this cost at 730 hours a month, and what does it cost when the audience doubles? Then ask for both answers in writing.
The answer here needs no calculator
$254 per month billed yearly, per channel, published. Runtime is not metered, because a channel is expected to run continuously, and delivery is unlimited from 300+ cities on every plan, so the biggest night the channel ever has costs what the quietest one does. The only usage-priced item is ad serving at $1 per 1,000 delivery-confirmed impressions, which bills only after an ad has already earned its place. What a TV channel costs runs every one of these published rates out to a full year.
There is no contract, and the first purchase carries a 7-day money-back guarantee, so testing the claim costs a week rather than a procurement cycle. If a figure here has gone out of date, tell us and it gets corrected.
