If I may, a licence fee functions like a fee. So for a certain set fee, the broadcasters get the rights to a program at a certain geographical area for a certain amount of time. To compare it to a car lease, for example, if I were to lease a car and my lease expires after three years, I don't then subsequently ask GM for a portion of the profits of that particular car sale.
