Well, paying off might be a bit strong. I didn't mean to imply some behind the sceens conspiracy. I doubt its a cloaked payoff to keep WRC coverage on the air.
But, Subaru is certainly a major sponsor for the events. From a purely business standpoint at Speed, it doesn't really matter how many viewers you have, but how many advertising dollars you get. As long as Subaru keeps supplying a majority of those dollars, there is no reason to pull WRC off the air, regardless of viewership.
