I've been giving some thought to AENTV, and to what AENTV would get out of a deal to produce and stream Hollyweb Squares for King World/CBS. My answer is that they are essentially acting like TVoW. They are collecting hosting revenue and production revenue, and possibly advertising revenue as well. This should make them profitable now or close to it, just like TVoW.

If you think about it, this is a very interesting business model. AXC builds a network, and someone else pays them to do it! Compare it to the local TV station. When they run an episode of Hollywood Squares, they pay King World, but here the situation is reversed. The program will benefit AENTV in several ways, one of which is the profit from production and streaming. The other way is that by bringing more viewers to the site, they make other programs more successful, and have the opportunity to build an entire network.
