cable = subscription. The 'cable' itself is an outdated term, as you can get these channels by satellite, but oh well. It's called cable.
network = free over the air. CBC, CTV, etc
As for "who the fuck uses the term 'cable' to describe PPV television?" that would be nobody. PPV is pay per view - pay once, watch it once. Canucks used to do this, not sure if they still do...
