Trump suggests FCC should consider revoking TV licenses over negative coverage of him

[rsdsharp]

1. In the first place, TV networks are not licensed. Individual stations are licensed.

The networks have some O&O (owned and operated) stations, but most are affiliates. They’re going to try to revoke the licenses of all of the affiliates because a network show says something Donny doesn’t like?

Station licenses, especially in major markets, are worth millions. License holders aren’t going to roll over for this. Revoking licenses for political speech is a blatant First Amendment violation. The district and circuit courts won’t allow it. This Supreme Court, however, may be something else.
