I am contemplating a venture into the direct radio-TV broadcasting service into homes in the US via satellites. I need the estimate to determine how much money I have to raise.

My guess is that it could be anywhere from several billion dollars to tens of billions or possible hundreds of billions. You would need to purchase satellites, and then have someone launch them into space (either paying NASA or the Japanese or the ESA). You then need to build a complete control center here on the planet to control all of those satellites and monitor them 24/7. Then you have to secure licensing agreements with all of the various companies providing broadcasts (i.e HBO, Showtime, Discovery Channel, etc.).
Why else do you think satellite radio like XM and Sirius are still operating in the red?

I see no explanation for alarm. remember, that radio spectrum belongs to the widespread public. those stations are authorized by the gov't with the purpose of reaping benefits the widespread public. Being required to broadcast emergency suggestions in time of emergency unquestionably falls in the area of being a call for of that license. I for one might like those stations to offer suggestions throughout an emergency, somewhat than save displaying repeats of Seinfeld.
