It's just on public TV

Matter of Fact with Soledad O'Brien is a weekly American public-affairs television talk program hosted by journalist Soledad O'Brien. The show is produced by Hearst Television and is distributed to TV stations in national broadcast television syndication by Sony Pictures Television. It airs on TV stations around the country in weekend program slots, primarily in the Sunday morning talk program block. It also airs on a one-week-delayed basis on fyi.

"Matter of Fact" was originally launched in November 2015 and was hosted by entrepreneur and political commentator Fernando Espuelas.[1] Beginning with the 2016-2017 TV season, O'Brien succeeded Espuelas in the hosting role.[2]

A September 2017 "Matter of Fact" special,[3] hosted by O'Brien, aired in prime-time on stations including WCVB-TV in Boston,[4] WESH-TV in Orlando,[5] and WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh,[6] addressing the nationwide opioid-abuse crisis.

In April 2018 it was announced that the program had been renewed for the 2018-2019 TV season, and that new agreements with multiple station groups had expanded the show's audience reach to 90% of U.S. TV households.[7]

In January 2020 the show was recognized by the National Association of Television Program Executives (NATPE) with a NATPE Iris Award of Excellence.[8]

There should be a law that Cable companies or any company that owns transmission can’t own programs that they transmit.
