“The entertainment and advertising industries are based in the two cities of NYC and Los Angeles (Hollywood). These two cities lead the cultural revolution by way of entertainment and advertising.”

That’s what’s wrong with America right now.
Even Fox News broadcasts from New York. What’s needed is some alternatives which simply ignore the two coasts.
Somewhere like Denver or even Austin, as a new media hub. Plenty of infrastructure in other cities in America, NYC and LA really aren’t necessary - and frankly getting to be more trouble than they’re worth.
Then, some place like Branson MO as a base for an alternative film industry.
The time for simply complaining about NYC and LA’s out of touch crap is long over. They need to simply be replaced. Not around the edges. Not through “pressure”. Just replace them elsewhere, and be done with it.
Let them then dissolve, by themselves into the arrogant irrelevance they deserve.
Really with the internet it won’t be that long and you could produce your own TV or movies with little infrastructure.
What do you really need these days? A couple of HD video cameras (4 to 5 grand) a couple high capacity servers (???) and one or two T2 lines and you can have your own internet TV station.
Building the sets might be your biggest expense. You can most likely get your actors for free to begin with.
Just guessing put I think you should be able to get started for $50K or so.
