No, they don’t.

There is no need for government involvement in telling a private entity under what conditions and to whom they must make their product available.

When they have a government protected monopoly they are subject to the whims of government.

if I paid for it, I should be able to see it without an additional price to watch it on the telly, which I also pay for....

“There is no need for government involvement in telling a private entity under what conditions and to whom they must make their product available.”

True. And there should also not be an antitrust exemption for anybody... or did I miss that in the Constitution?
