Using spectrum traditionally used for broadcasting,
for broadcasting - now that's thinking outside the
box.

How does the cost of a 6Mhz slice compare with the
cost of buying an existing TV broadcaster? And would a
spectrum buyer at auction be bound by the same
restrictions (e.g. national ownership cap)?

Who knows, maybe there's a billionare out there
secretly plotting to be the next Rupert Murdoch.
