It's not deregulated though. If it were, those six companies would be facing heavy competition. There's so much regulatory capture in the broadcast media market it only barely counts as private sector.

Yes. It is. It was deregulated in 1996. Do you not remember?

So I can set up a TV station tomorrow if I have the equipment? Nope. It's still regulated.
