This comes up against Scott Royall's comment, as you're implying that sports
talk is somehow not meaningful.  (Ever since the New York ESPN Radio
affiliate went FM only, I haven't been able to pick one up here in the
Catskills.  And I wouldn't mind having a competitor to WFAN.)

Are networks not in the public good?  Or are they only in the public good
when they've got the government imprimatur like the CBC in Canada or the BBC
in the UK?
