To AMC's credit, the CPM AMC receives for Mad Men is much higher: $34 instead of $12-$25. It could be because people pay attention to the commercials, since the show is about advertising. A cynic would say it's a prestige thing for media buyers to get their ads run on Mad Men.

While I agree with the original poster, i.e., those who are already using netflix are unlikely to go back, netflix is supposed to be a growth business (P/E of > 60), ergo, if this leads to less growth, that will be terrible terrible terrible for the company.
