与A＆E购买权利HBO的关键热门女高音，已为网络购买重播权利设定了新记录。每集250万美元，有些人可能称其为抢断。这可能会产生多米诺骨牌效应，这与职业运动员的薪水繁荣不同。虽然这对于关键或受欢迎的亲爱的人来说是可以的，但是在几个赛季中，较不太成功的表演又如何呢？还是真人秀电视？阿什莉·辛普森（Ashlee Simpson）可以每集以百万计的出售吗？
The other troubling detail about this deal is the fact that A&E might run ‘clean’ versions of the show for a ‘broader basic-cable audience.’ While creator David Chase has not remarked on this possibility, one cannot help but consider this as another case of creative vision being dwarfed by dollar signs.
