Retransmission-consent fees paid to broadcasters, despite their recent growth, still account for only a small percentage of distributors' programming costs, according to SNL Kagan. Broadcasters took in $210 million via retrans in 2006, or 1.3% of all fees for broadcast and basic cable networks, and this year will take in $3.02 billion, or 9% of the total. At the same time, the Federal Communications Commission is reporting that growth in cable expenses has slowed considerably since it peaked a decade ago.
