    I'm sorry, this is a pathologically dense comment.

    The broadcasters have a fixed broadcast cost regardless of how many people are receiving it. A logical person (or entity) would want to amortize that cost over as many households as possible. They are 'compensated' by showing their advertisers how big their audience is. That's how BROADcast works.

    By your logic, antenna manufacturers and installers have no right to profit from broadcast signals either.
