I'm happy they don't offer OANN. It's trash. In fact, I don't have cable because I don't want the $2-$3 broadcast fee going to Fox News either.
Fox News wouldn't get a broadcast fee because Fox News isn't a broadcast station.
Not only that, because Fox News is a CABLE channel only, they are not affected by the FCC broadcast channels regulations.
I'd presume a cable channel wouldn't have to comply with broadcast regulations, meaning a cable channel can curse on-air but a broadcast channel could be fined; however, I'm unsure of your point. Because the FCC regulates broadcast stations, do these regulations make broadcast news not "trash"?
Also, Broadcast fees are not gov't mandated.
