I go back and forth on government regulation in the domains of the FCC. On the one hand, you have the BBC, which seems to produce interesting TV when compared to all the fluff on US TV, however, it also banned airing certain things back in the day. The BBC does well here where it can be chosen, but the Brits didn't have much choice. I remember visiting my cousins in Ireland and England in 1984, and my cousin in England only had three or four channels. Some could argue that FCC regulation led to what we have today (not Netflix and other variants) on broadcast television. I found this podcast interesting on the subject of the FCC:
