I propose a new FCC policy for the incoming Trump Administration, which is:

Broadcasting on the public airwaves is a PRIVILEGE not a ‘right’ and ANY network entity which seeks to undermine and subvert the basic freedoms guaranteed under our Constitution will have their broadcast licenses revoked permanently.

Thumbs up on that!

TV and radio broadcasters already must be licensed to send material over the public airwaves. They must renew their license on a regular basis. That's why you see public service announcements; to prove to the FCC that they are serving a public interest and should be re-licensed.

At least that's the way it was back when I grew up.
