Before making such a drastic change, perhaps you can test your concept (increasing viewer-ship by decreasing the alloted time to view a show) by implementing a TV/Cable model. Have a Regular time period that you air a new show (perhaps for 3 days). Then put the video into "Reruns". If you go to Mixergy.com, you will only have the Last 3 new shows + 3 random re-runs. This will bring old videos to the forefront again and will limit your supply which might increase the demand as people would be worried that they would not see a show until it happened to come back into re-runs. Also, would have people coming back to look what is being re-run that day in the hopes of finding an old classic. Then you can have the All Paid Access that give you access to full archives. However non-paid users can still get lucky and see their favorites in re-runs, however would be motivated to watch new shows before they go away.
