Memo 1To: Pricing Manager, Tri-State RegionFrom: Regional Vice President, Tri-State Region Re: Revenue from EPIXWe recently added the EPIX Movie Channels as part of a new tier of programming for our digital video subscribers. The EPIX channels are sold as an add-on package for $9.75 per month, but we would like to potentially increase our revenue from our subscriber base.
