 TURNER BROADCASTING SYSTEM v. FCC (1997)
Congress was concerned not that broadcast television would disappear in its entirety without must carry, but that without it, "significant numbers of broadcast stations will be refused carriage on cable systems," and those "broadcast stations denied carriage will either deteriorate to a substantial degree or fail altogether."...
Although evidence of continuing growth in broadcast could have supported the opposite conclusion, a reasonable interpretation is that expansion in the cable industry was causing harm to broadcasting....
While broadcast stations occupy another 30,006 cable channels nationwide, this carriage does not represent a significant harm to either system operators or cable programmers because those stations were carried voluntarily before 1992, and even appellants represent, Tr.

 Turner Broadcasting v. FCC (1997)
Broadcasters with stronger finances tend, however, to be popular ones that ordinarily seek payment from cable systems for transmission, so their reliance on must carry should be minimal.
It is undisputed that the broadcast stations protected by must carry are the "marginal" stations within a given market, see infra, at 16; the record on remand reveals that any broader threat to the broadcast system was entirely mythical.
The Turner plurality noted that there was no evidence that "local broadcast stations have fallen into bankruptcy, turned in their broadcast licenses, curtailed their broadcast operations, or suffered a serious reduction in operating revenues" because of adverse carriage decisions.

 Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.. v. F.C.C. , 512 U.S. 622 (1994)
Concerned that a competitive imbalance between cable television and over the air broadcasters was endangering the broadcasters' ability to compete for a viewing audience and thus for necessary operating revenues, Congress passed the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992.
Sections 4 and 5 of the Act require cable television systems to devote a specified portion of their channels to the transmission of local commercial and public broadcast stations.
Such differential treatment is justified by the special characteristics of the cable medium-- namely, the cable operators' bottleneck monopoly and the dangers this power poses to the viability of broadcast television--and because the must carry provisions are not structured in a manner that carries the inherent risk of undermining First Amendment interests.
