If you forced me to come up with a way to make it work under capitalism I would say a time limited exclusivity thing, same concept as current copyright but way more restriction.
Still the single core platform, operated by the government, and allow production companies to charge for their access portals where they can have exclusive rights to show their content for 5 or 10 years. But if they no longer want to show that content or the time is up, it goes into the public access system.
So HBO uploads each episode of Game of Thrones to a government owned system, seasons 1-6 would be available publicly or on any service that wants to feature it, while seasons 7-8 would currently still only be available to watch on HBO Max, which is just another thing that accesses the central system. This year season 7 would become available to everyone, next year season 8.
Or you could simply come up with a formula to determine how much to pay media creators, probably based on a mix of watch time, views, ratings, and external policy deliberately supporting certain media production
How would the production company get paid? Government spending?

Yes.
