If six people play, and the "buy-in" is 90k, how will FTP make $60k from this?

FTP would be LOSING 60K. But the idea is that it would be paying for advertising. I'm sure such a replay would attract HUGE numbers of people. And if you made it only FTP account holders could watch, or charge $5 to watch or whatever, i'm sure they'd make it back quickly.

I think you're greatly over-estimating the number of players who care enough to watch/learn something from watching HSP. Poker sites make their money off fish/the recreational player. There is no way they would make back the 60K lost in player fees.

Then again, there are making just about everyone FTP Pro's these days. I'm honestly, Greg Mueller??? He's the Phil Gordon of poker players.
