They do that all the time, anyway, whenever they decide what they want to 
show.  I think I have the right to view old Jack Benny reruns, but 
currently no station is showing them.  I've had a number of favorite shows 
that have been discontinued.  Whenever they take a show off the air that I 
like, or pre-empt it for a sports event, they take away my right to decide 
what I want to view.  My right to decide what to view is always limited by 
what they choose to show.
