Will the US CBS Network loose its broadcasting license over the Dan Rather
row?


It doesn't have a license to lose. Networks don't require licenses in
the U.S..

The stations that air CBS network programs do require licenses and are
subject to sanction. Some of these stations are owned by the CBS
network - the majority aren't.

It's highly unlikely any of the stations will be sanctioned either.
There's no evidence CBS knew the documents were fake before they were
aired - indeed, there is evidence that they *weren't* fake - and even if
they knew the documents were fake that hasn't been grounds for FCC
sanction in the past.
