7. I've been watching Channel 5, WTTG, for decades, since it was a Dumont affiliate.

It's an over-the-air operation. it comes in on my rabbit ears, as channels 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3. As an over-the-air operation, WTTG is licensed to operate by the FCC.

If you want to watch FOX News, access to DC's Channel 5 won't do you much good. FOX News is a cable operation. You have to pay to watch that. I don't. As a cable operation, FOX News is not licensed by the FCC.

FOX News as LBN news source? No dice.

Channel 5 as LBN news source. No problem.

Completely separate. Hope this helps.
