pay television

Pay television refers to a subscription-based service where viewers pay a fee to access a curated selection of TV channels or programs, often including specialty channels like movies, sports, or entertainment. Unlike free-to-air broadcast TV, pay television requires customers to subscribe, typically via cable, satellite, or internet streaming. This model offers higher-quality content, exclusive programming, and additional features such as on-demand viewing. It provides consumers with more choices and customization beyond free broadcast offerings, catering to specific interests and preferences, and generating revenue for content providers through subscriptions.
