What is another word for pay channel?
Pronunciation: [pˈe͡ɪ t͡ʃˈanə͡l] (IPA) 
Pay channel refers to a television network or channel that is accessed through a paid subscription. However, the term 'pay channel' has been overshadowed by a number of synonyms that have been used interchangeably within the television and media industry. Some of these terms include subscription channel, premium channel, and pay-per-view channel. Subscription channel emphasizes the element of regular payment through a subscription-based model while premium channel highlights the exclusivity and high-value content available on the channel. Pay-per-view channel, on the other hand, emphasizes the option of paying for individual programs or events as opposed to a monthly subscription. These synonyms have become widely used due to the evolution of television viewing and the growth of streaming platforms.
