The business model of Orby TV differs from its competitors as it provides cable-originated television networks (e.g., TBS and Cartoon Network) in their main satellite-delivered programming packages, but supplements its subscribers with home antennae to receive local broadcast television stations (e.g., ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox), which allows Orby TV to limit the amount of retransmission fees it pays to content distributors.[2][3][4][5] Orby TV's CEO is Michael Thornton, who formerly served as chief executive officer of Starz.[5]
