That would help a crap ton, make it public

Pay for cable or satellite TV? You’re subsidizing Fox News whether you watch it or not.

Your cable or satellite TV provider pays a subscriber fee to carry Fox News. That cost is passed directly on to YOU.

Every network charges cable and satellite providers a small fee per subscriber; the one for Fox News is extraordinarily high. A typical household pays Fox News almost $2 per month—about $20 per year— via their cable or satellite provider, regardless of whether they actually watch the channel.

In 2020 and 2021, a wave of big contracts between Fox News and TV providers for subscriber fees are set to expire. These contracts make up about 65% if Fox News’ subscriber fee revenue. If we want to stop paying the Fox News “tax,” now is the time to act.


Fox News makes approximately $1.8 billion per year from hidden subscriber fees–twice as much as CNN and three times as much as MSNBC.1

The network's extra-high fees, which make up most of its revenue, protect Fox News from the advertisers that are quickly abandoning it.2

Big business knows that we have been great consumers of their products.
Who knows how much, people under the thumb of a dictator, would buy?
I guess corporate America wants to maintain their current position of power.

Guess I'm fine with that for the moment as it is one hell of a lot better than anything Trump.

All won't release immediate statements, but the decisions will become known, if only through 10Q reports.
But, there are going to be many executive teams disgusted, and seeing big players leading the way.
Many will decide good corporate policy is to pull back.
Whatever their ultimate motivation, I think it will be well into three digits by the time JB is inaugurated.
