There was a lengthy discussion about that on NANOG a week or so ago. I don't claim to understand all facets of multicast but it could be a sort of way to operate "tv station" type scheduled programming for streaming media. There's no way to pause, rewind or otherwise seek multicasted media though. It would be going backwards in terms of what consumers want these days.
why not permit your users to subscribe to shows/instances, stream them on-demand for viewing later... and leave truly live content (news/sports/etc) as is, with only the ability to pause/rewind? how is this different from broadcast tv today though?
