When I am in a hotel and CNN is on, I ask for a change and, often, they respond.
I purchase the commercial package from DirecTV for this place(Non Profit-Eudcational). I decide what the Monitors are set to display. I just had to fill out a form showing how many units are displaying and an approx. number of viewers. We get a monthly bill just like a home system.
If they are using DirecTV I can assure you, any place you see the Commie News Network, it is by choice of the Establishment. They can switch it to Fox or the other Network feeds any time.
