What should the FCC charge media companies for access to the airwaves ?

Like most patriots I dont think fealty to Trump is sufficient to guarentee the right to broadcast. Something morre tangiable is needed.

I dont think a Qatar level bribe is in order. The President is not a greedy man. Something more like the payment to Melania for her important documentary is what Im thinking.

That ticks all the boxes and puts any future investigation off the scent.

It just becomes a poor business decision rather than a bribe. Something the hapless Qataris have yet to learn.

Still given the huge sums of cash involved it is only right that these people pay up and only right that Trump benefits for giving the nod.

I would say that 40 mil should be the starting point for broadcasting licenses.

You know they already pay quite a lot more than that, right?

Wait, what am I saying? You don't know shit.

There should be no fees. There should be huge fines for censorship and bias.

 

[Natural Citizen]

Just as an aside...

Abolish the FCC​

Don’t worry your ugly little head over an American domestic matter, taint.

Not to the president. You now have a mafia regime.

There are a wide variety of claims and estimates about how much the ABC network earned in 2024. Disney doesn’t seem to break it down when it reports the Disney profits and losses. But, according to ChatGPT, ABC brought in as much as $10 billion dollars (for Disney) to as little as just under $1 billion.

The broadcast licenses for our airwaves are very very valuable. And their issuance — and their extensions — by the FCC are indeed conditioned upon a variety of things, not least of which is “the public interest.”

I think 10% for the big guy should be good.
