Contrary to popular belief, the American people own the airwaves. The original deal with the FCC was that the broadcasters wouldn't charge people to watch shows, and the broadcasters could have a chunk of the airwaves. No mention was ever made regarding obligations of the public to the broadcasters.

If the broadcasters don't like it, they are free to sell their stations and get a real job.
