Alternate Pricing Arrangement for Delayed Stream Podcast

[naji]

Can streamers offer alternate pricing arrangement for delayed stream podcast not by much say five minutes to be streamed from good internet bandwidth, at same time keep live broadcast pricing as well. This way IMO could relief the pressure a bit on live streamers, hope they can do it, even one hour if five min is not possible!! The problem with all day re-run is we do not know when, and could be at bad time, by then we want to see who won, so re-run might not be good solution.

What do you think? Thanks.

Don't see how they can since the delay will be coming from the same location which means the same bandwidth and will just cost more (at least in time and managing) to maintain two streams at the same time. A re-run is just broadcasting a recording after the fact, not at the same time as the original.

This is like selling freshly baked bread and then trying to give a discount for every 10 minutes it sits instead of just a day old discount across the board.

The whole point for paying for a live stream is that you see it as it happens. If you don't want to pay the full price, you have to get the possibly free replay after they fact.
