I am a bit sympathetic for the TV stations.

Most, if not all, of the cable only stations get paid by the cable companies to carry their signals.

The broadcast companies need to compete against companies that not onlt get advertising revenue, but also fees from the cable companies.

And it is very dishonest to call the proposed fees a "tax"
