A paid service on Roku won’t have nearly the reach a cable TV station would. Only political junkies would pay for it.

Advertisers would be the problem.

Paid Over The Top is the way to start, at least.

Not a paid service, a free streaming channel. There are lots and lots of them already. Such channels are available for free on ROKU et al and most smart TV’s.

Hillary won the popular vote. Those leftists will slavishly watch cable.

True Americans will migrate to streaming video in droves when there is MAGA news channel.

It seems logical that they would just buy an existing network or channel that already has space on cable and satellite systems.

I think you underestimate the number of cord-cutters who have dropped cable and sat subscription TV for streaming. Only the over-80s cling to broadcast.

Alex Jones has 2M subscribers and untold lurkers. I don’t know OAN’s stats. The market is there and Bannon, Breitbart and Mercer have the $$ and expertise.
