Fox, Disney, CBS and the others are worried that the rules would enable new entrants to pick and choose what programming they made available to consumers.The companies also worry that tech companies that entered the TV navigation market might serve up individual TV shows to consumers, such as “Empire,” “Paw Patrol” or “NCIS,” rather than an entire channel of programming. That would leave the TV industry vulnerable to the same fate as the music industry after consumers began buying individual songs rather than entire albums and CDs.
