This morning, Laura Ingraham had a lawyer describe CBS's criminal behavior. CBS is an over-the-airwaves product and is regulated by the FCC. The FCC does have the power to pull CBS's license because of felonious and fraudulent behavior.
More than likely there will be other lawsuits. The Killian family can sue. And someone should be going to prison for forging federal documents. Transferring those documents by wire/fax is yet another charge.
CBS does not have a license to pull. Networks don't need licenses. Only broadcast stations have licenses.
Quit running to governement to solve your problems...
Repeat after me: Government is the problem, not the solution...
CBS owns some broadcasting stations. Here in Minneapolis, WCCO is owned by CBS for example.
I am sure there are others, how many? I don't know.
The lawyer on Ingraham's show said they did have a license. Perhaps it applies to affiliates. They are licensed unlike cable stations.
They also own KEYE here in Austin.
The owned & operated stations (like WBZ here in Boston) got fined due to the Super Bowl incident. The FCC could
pull the licenses of the O&Os.
From the See BS site listing affiliates, here are there
O&Os. They also may have ownership of "limited market
agreements" with other stations (for example, in Boston
there's such a relationship with UPN affiliate WSBK)
CBS Owned And Operated Stations:
• California - Los Angeles KCBS
• California - San Francisco KPIX
• Colorado - Denver KCNC
• Florida - Miami WFOR
• Illinois - Chicago WBBM
• Maryland - Baltimore WJZ
• Massachusetts - Boston WBZ
• Michigan - Detroit WWJ/WKBD
• Minnesota - Minneapolis WCCO
• New York - New York WCBS
• Pennsylvania - Philadelphia KYW
• Pennsylvania - Pittsburgh KDKA
• Texas - Austin KEYE
• Texas - Dallas KTVT
• Utah - Salt Lake City KUTV
• Green Bay WFRV
Do you want to see:
A. Dan Rather continue, or
B. Dan Rather replaced by Janet Jackson's bare boob?
Myself, I vote for the boob, which is probably more intelligent. Even though it does have a nipple piercing.

Subject: Where is the FCC on CBS?
CBS News is investigating ITSELF on felonious behavior? Isn't this the job of the FCC?
What if, after three months, CBS finds NOTHING? Is that when the FCC kicks in?
This issue should be front and center at any and all staff meetings. No FCC investigation will be noticed - by everyone on the Internet.
I fully expect a response from you within one day. Thanks for your help.
