I think I’m too dumb to ask this but I genuinely do not know how actors playing in TV programs get paid. or even how the broadcasted content is directly related to no of viewers watching? and how me watching a program will turn out to be a finance for these guys.
I know you pay for your cable and stuff but how does that get processed?

TV shows are typically paid for through advertising.
Every time your show stops and shows adverts for companies and products, those companies have paid the network to show those adverts – the more viewers a show has, the more the network can charge to place an advert during it.
The network then takes all of this money and uses it to pay for and make (or buy from other people) all of the show’s they want to air on their channel.
The actors are paid by the producers of the show’s – there is no set rules here as it will depend on what the actors agree. Some may be paid per hour or per day for the time spent on set, some may be paid per episode, others may get a share of the profits made on the show.
