the networks pay a fortune for shows whether they own and produce the shows themselves or buy them from a producer/studio.
how much ratings/ad revenue they'd lose if they allowed Netflix to stream a show would determine the ballpark figure a network would consider selling for. I think on a hit show, $100K is chicken feed.
things are changing so rapidly - networks and cable channels will be doing the same as Netflix themselves. programming will be like soft drinks - you can buy them from a thousand different places.
