Let's yank those free airwaves from them and let them compete in the market. Then they can do anything they want with their time. We could probably raise some serious funds from that, a yearly rental rate would be appropriate.

?!? In case you didn't notice that's what I've been advocating. Instead of pressure from a government source for free non advertising dollars airtime, allow the station to do what it chooses

Since the networks have decided not to be good citizens, let's let them just be private enterprises and pay their own way.

Um, they already are and do. Well except when a political hack comes along demanding airtime to blow smoke

So, you don't think public airways should be used to address the nation? Is that it?

Great, we're in agreement then, let's auction off the bands the networks have been using.
