I had thought there would be a dilutive effect on revenue by increasing teams but your point shows that is not necessarily the case.

Right, but moving a team to QC would have the same effect on SN's rights fees as expanding there. IF I recall the details correctly.
BTW, adding teams in the US has no effect on rights fees, as NBC's contract has no such provision.
