Now they factor in things like streaming, overseas sales, if the show can be run on a smaller budget and so on. Ownership of a show, for example is extremely important these days.But on the other hand it is run the same way - as a business, they want to make profit, it's just that live ratings isn't always necessarily where they make their main profit anymore.</blockquote>
