Not cable. When you write a check to Comcast (or whichever) you make a business deal to bring privately produced programming into your home.

Local Radio and TV, however, use the scarce frequencies that broadcast into each community. We the people own those frequencies, and we have made a private public partnership with broadcasters to use them. Their deal with us: to serve the public interest.

So we the people have immense power in broadcasting, we just need to use it.
