Anger among Disney staffers over Jimmy Kimmel's suspension is growing at the company as talks are ongoing to find a way to get the host back on the air
If the far right can stand up an independent production company and make a go at it, why can’t everyone else do the same thing?
In the Internet age, it doesn’t really matter if you can’t get broadcast rights on cable or OTA… just stand up a streaming service, get contracts with Akamai and CloudFlare, lease studios in a few major cities (or even work out of garages and have remote audiences, mixed with live shows at random venues… works for youtube influencers), and operate off of a mix of subscriptions, ad placements, and traditional ads from companies who are fed up with what the US government is doing.
All these employees know how to do this stuff; it’s their jobs. Why not work for an employee held company instead and ditch the fear of reprisal/job loss?
Because the left is not controlling the FCC. And ad revenue on cable TV is still a lot higher than on any internet streaming platform. Financing a show like that through streams is a lot more difficult.
Yes, but I’m not in that industry or country. However, execs and top management types could pull it off, and the employment risk would be no greater than it already is.

Didn’t Al Gore try that in the 00s? He was mocked. Like usual.
