Well said.

The only sense in which "the traditional economic model" should be adjusted is that perhaps the advertising market in our small nation could adequately finance one news service, but can't do TV1 and TV3 combined when TV1 is propped up by government. Perhaps if TV3 alone were in the market and TV1 weren't subsidised up to this point, there would be enough advertising revenue to at least sustain one.
