I can't imagine being online would make a difference in how much the show costs to write, draft, design, animate, or market, so any difference would have to be cost to broadcast vs cost to stream. According to [Logan's answer on the question Dimitri mx linked](http://anime.stackexchange.com/a/4179/7579), TV slots for a 52-episode series are in the ballpark of 50 million yen (around $439,000). I would imagine streaming episodes from your own servers for a year can't be too much cheaper than this; it might even be more expensive.

Usually services like Crunchyroll and Netflix pay you to stream your content, but that's for content that's already established in some other venue; I've never heard of a streaming company making a deal where another company pays them to run content. Usually they either pay media companies to run preexisting content or they pay a production company to create content for them.
