You're on TV or radio? Tell me, what's the point of licensing broadcasters if anything goes? If anything is permissible? When their licenses are up, they have announcements that tell viewers they can make comments about renewing their license as to whether they serve "the public good". Why?

And just who gets to decide what constitutes "The Public Good?"

The bottom line is the only criteria there should be for a broadcaster to stay in business is if they can make a profit.

And I guarantee in a true market, broadcasters who engage in filth for the most part would go out of business.

Unfortunately many of these channels are part of larger broadcasting conglomerates, like Viacom, who are subsidized. Also allowing cable companies the option to not have to go "a la carte" with channels would be a big help.
