... Trump signed an executive order on Friday directing Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr to review whether the "public interest" requirements that TV licensees agree to uphold should include preserving an exclusive programming time slot for the historic rivalry game between West Point cadets and midshipmen from the U.S. Naval Academy. Trump signed the order after presenting a trophy to the Navy football team, which won last year's contest, at the White House on Friday. The order appears to grant Carr the bandwidth to revoke licenses for any broadcasters who schedule a college football game "in a manner that directly conflicts with the Army-Navy Game," which has been broadcast on CBS since 1996. In 2024, the network signed a new deal to broadcast the game through 2038. The game is traditionally played on the second Saturday in December. ...

Ellison's CBS supports Pres Trump... then Pres Trump supports CBS.
It seems simple, really.
It seems to be why MAGA billionaires are actively buying up media -- to control the message.
