Recall, the buyout of Paramount, and CBS, required FCC approval. The company honchos only cared about their "change of control" payouts, so, of course, they tossed Colbert and accepted a minder for the news division.

The big broadcasting group that dropped Kimmel first, also has a request before the FCC.

Nexstar, the largest station group in the country, also has a major merger before the Trump administration, its proposed acquisition of Tegna, creating a mega-company with 265 stations in 44 states and the District of Columbia, representing 80% of U.S. TV households. Nexstar also is a leading champion in the broadcast industry for the FCC to relax media ownership limits, something necessary to get its deal through regulatory approval. Nexstar owns 32 ABC affiliates out of a total of 200 stations.

Ethics become expendable, when money is involved.
