In this episode, we unpack the high-stakes FCC battle that could redefine who controls American broadcasting. For decades, Comcast and Disney have used a federal ownership cap to keep conservative local stations small, compliant, and dependent. Now the FCC is considering lifting that rule, a move that would finally give networks like Sinclair and Nexstar the scale to push back against the liberal national networks that dominate the landscape. We walk through how NBC and ABC use their leverage to force affiliates to carry left-leaning content, why the Jimmy Kimmel preemption exposed the broken power dynamic, and why eliminating the 39 percent cap would be a major win for the Trump Administration and the MAGA movement. This decision could do for television what deregulation once did for conservative talk radio. Grab your seat, because the future of American media is on the line.   Follow Joel Thayer on X! https://x.com/joellthayer?s=21&t=qUYlYoIQ_af_TKj4r-p62w
