The FCC did (!) in their 'official' decision. Guess it proves the point
that the FCC *should be regulating technical issues* and not issues
of program content.

I still remember how to change channels.

Programming is driven by revenue.
If people watch it, then the ad time is worth money, and whatever it is,
we'll get more of it.
If people turn it off, then the ad time looses value, and whatever it is, it
will get pulled.

Hard to imagine a more democratic method of selection.
