First of all, you're wrong because the broadcasters are using the airwaves on loan from the public, which owns it, and second of all, you're wrong because even though no money passes between the viewer and the broadcaster, the interstate commerce still effects the viewer.
The commerce effects the viewer, but the commerce is not with the viewer - the Congress has no rights on that end.
As for the broadcast airwaves, we've covered that, and now knowing that no commerce happens in the broadcast, it's rather moot.
Yeah, ok. They serve customers in 39 states and DC, and they're based in Philadelphia.
Yes, but, again, the commerce is not happening across state lines.
