After reading your blog, I just asked a friend who is a cable company director (and one of the owners) how you could do that, the answer:
Build a cable company (there is local regulation about how that's done, you are not creating a 'new' thing, cities and states might already have guidelines and/or legislation on that subject - and the tech is already there) Sometimes that's not possible, because those services are state regulated that the spots are auctioned every zillion of years. A mile of cable coverage can cost more than 10k USD and it's not guaranteed that you will make any sales on that specific mile.
A single company usually owns many channels, they want to sell them all to you (based on your subscription numbers) those prices change based on your performance. You need to invest money to receive their signal, so it's usually better to receive the 'whole package' they are offering anyways. This is more or less how it works.
Our take on this (over a beer):
A pay-per-hour-view cable company. Using your alien negotiation skills you will convince all companies to give you all the channels and you will log what viewers are watching. You will charge viewers based on how much they watched. Prices would vary per channel and every ad watched would generate a 'credit'. You and the channel would split the revenues.
