Re: Futility.
I doubt they'd win anything. The FCC has the very clear legal authority to regulate television- most recently they got away with that silly E/I regulation, for example.
The right comes in part from the fact that no television station has a right to their airwaves, they are solely at the FCC's discretion. |

| Probably two things will result from an FCC attempt to re-instate the rule that the main studio be in the city of license
1) Stations will set up a teeny-weeny "main studio" in their city of license, and re-label their existing facility as a satellite studio, and fire up the lawyers to deal with any FCC objections.
2) If there's no grandfather clause, stations will immediately sue claiming regulations are "unduly burdensome"... and they'll probably win. |
