24. Remeber, The SCOTUS Just Chimed In On This...
Corporates are individuals when it pertains to the First Ammendment. Non-Profits who get subsidies from the government or religious groups that use tax-empt status to raise money are different than a for-profit corporation that is being "punished" or discriminated against. There are already rulings that the FCC cannot dictate a station's format...all they can do is grant or revoke licenses. Thus attempting to dictate content can and would be viewed as a First Ammendment violation.
