Trump's FCC Pick Wants NBC To Lose License Over SNL Skit

6. Networks don't have licenses because they don't broadcast anything.

They create the programming that TV and radio stations, which do have FCC-issued broadcast licenses, can choose to broadcast. Licenses are issued to allocate frequencies used by the radio/TV spectrum. The guy who wants to head up the FCC should know that, and that the FCC can't revoke a license the NBC television network doesn't have in the first place. Fox doesn't have a license either, but since it's cable the FCC doesn't regulate it either except with respect to some technical aspects of cable.
