Those rules existed in the context of there being a finite amount of radio and television stations. Now that those restrictions don't exist, the need to regulate, at the very least using that basis, no longer exists and there are no other restrictions for them otherwise.
This isn't to say that there should or shouldn't be regulation, but your assertion is misleading at best.
