I am not sure the PPV model is justifiable either since the cable/satellite
provider would be eliminating the corporate sponsor from the equation. At least whenever I watch a PPV event (sports or movie) I never see any commercial breaks or a company's logo appearing at the top of the screen like what you will seen when a network broadcasts a sporting event (i.e. soccer) commercial free.
The PPV model would definitely kill news broadcasts, PBS stations, home shopping channels, religious channels, and probably travel/history/cooking/home repair/etc genre channels. As far as children, cartoons, weekly shows go, I suspect those would be killed too or at least switch to the DVD/blue-ray format because I am not sure enough people would buy each episode. It would probably also kill Nielson ratings or at the very least force the ratings to change to find a new metric to justify the production cost. Then there is the syndication rights which brings up a whole different set problems.
The PPV model would probably also kill the broadcasting of sports. Broadcasting companies will probably broadcast fewer events to keep cost down and because they won't be able to accurately forecast how much revenue it will be able to generate from each broadcast.
