When do the people demand these networks surrender their FCC licences?

They are clearly NOT operating in the public interect.

Networks don't have FCC licenses. However, networks own TV -- and often radio -- stations in certain major markets. These are known as "O-and-Os," as in "owned and operated." They have FCC licenses.

The 1986 Goldwater-Van Deerlin Act made it difficult for an owner to lose an FCC license. It takes a lot more than just telling a lie.

ABC Television owns 8 TV stations that are licensed by FCC. There is no federal regulation of TV networks, they’re just a business like a newspaper.
