License to Renew: A Closer Look at Why FRINGE Fans Shouldn’t Lose Sleep Over Ratings
In a continued effort to get a better understanding of the decision making process that goes into renewing or canceling our favorite shows, we asked Michael Hinman, editor-in-chief of Airlock Alpha to shed some light on one of the most important, albeit least talked about factors: The license fee.
Ratings make the television world go round, and everyone has their opinion on whether television ratings are or have ever been accurate.
But while ratings are an important factor in whether a program lives or dies, it’s not the only factor. Especially today, when a television show can generate revenue in so many different ways beyond a network timeslot.
More and more, attention is being paid to licensing fees — the money networks pay production houses to air their programs. Many — if not most — television shows aired by a network are not produced in-house, meaning they come from production companies like Warner Bros. Television, Universal Media Studios (owned by NBC Universal) and more. Yes, you could very well find an NBC Universal-produced show on a rival network, like HOUSE, M.D. Yes, it airs on Fox, but is produced by Universal Media Studios.
For HOUSE, Universal Media decides its budget for the show and how much it would like to profit, setting a number — a license fee. It then goes to Fox and say, “Here is our license fee, let’s start negotiating,” and before there is a renewal, both sides have to agree on that license fee.
In the old days — say pre-1999 — almost the only revenue stream domestically was network broadcast. Once you got close to the 100-episode mark, you could anticipate selling syndication packages to television affiliates across the country and make more money there, but until you got there, you depended almost solely on the amount of money a network was willing to give you to broadcast a show.

Spoiler Alert! Is This the Moment BONES Fans Have Been Waiting For?
On the February 10th episode of BONES, Booth and Hannah will have a conversation many fans have been waiting all season long for. And while we’re not prepared to confirm that said conversation involves some variation on the theme, “he’s just not that into you,” there are two things we know for sure. Not only has Michael Ausiello already teased that “there will be a ‘very big’ turning point for Booth and Hannah in the episode,” Booth’s one-on-one with Hannah won’t be the episode’s only conversation. See for yourself, after the jump.
