A number of groups have put pressure on the FCC to mandate that cable companies offer their channels à la carte rather than in bundles. We are opposed to this measure and will continue to strive to provide channels in bundled tiers. However, we want to be prepared in case we need to offer single-channel pricing. Using existing market research, we were able to calculate an estimated own-price elasticity of demand for a number of our most popular cable channels. Use this information, along with the marginal cost for each channel, to calculate the profit-maximizing price for each of these channels. Channel Programming Cost per Subscriber per Month Estimated Own Price Elasticity of Demand Subscription Price ESPN $6.15 -1.8 TNT $1.52 -2.1 Disney $1.25 -1.6 Fox News $1.05 -1.9 MSNBC $0.99 -2.4 CNN $0.87 -3.4

As you are aware, we recently added the EPIX Movie Channels as part of a new tier of programming for our digital video subscribers. The EPIX channels are sold as an add-on package for $9.75 per month, but we would like to potentially increase our contribution margin from our subscriber base. Currently, we have 15,059 subscribers, generating monthly revenue of $146,823. In an earlier study, our marketing department generated data on sales quantities at various price levels. In addition, we have included the licensing cost as well as regional expenses. Please provide a recommendation of the profit-maximizing price, and how much our profits will increase if we adjust the price to the recommended level. Also, please note whether this will impact our revenue.
