So anyone in rural areas not served by traditional cable will be at the mercy of a single satellite provider? Seems like regulators shouldn’t approve this.

I'm glad there are other options. I have Sling TV for about half the year for college football. If they touch it, I'm jumping to Hulu or Fubo.

But I really don't want anything that will support Fox News, which most do. I don't even subscribe to Sling Blue for that reason.

How is this legal?
