"pay-per-view"的定义和意义

What is "pay-per-view"?

Pay-per-view is a system where viewers pay a fee to watch a specific television program, event, or movie. Instead of subscribing to a channel, viewers pay for individual shows or events, such as sports games, concerts, or special movies, that are not part of their regular television package. Pay-per-view is often used for one-time or special broadcasts, where the content is available for a limited time, and the viewer is charged only for the event they choose to watch. It provides more flexibility for those who do not want to pay for a full subscription.
