There are regulations that exist for public broadcasts that do not apply to cable.
- crazygringo 7y agoYes they are here: https://www.fcc.gov/media/radio/public-and-broadcasting#BUSINESS https://www.fcc.gov/media/radio/public-and-broadcasting#BUSI... But they explicitly state broadcasters can mostly choose as they like: > Except for the requirements concerning political advertisements, the limits on the number of commercials that can be aired during children’s programming and the prohibition of advertisements over noncommercial educational stations, the Commission does not regulate a licensee’s business practices, such as its advertising rates or its profits. Rates charged for broadcast time are matters for private negotiation between sponsors and stations. Except for certain classes of political advertisements, STATION LICENSEES HAVE FULL DISCRETION TO ACCEPT OR REJECT ANY ADVERTISING. (all-caps added for emphasis)
