A news story doesn't cost anyone anything, unlike a commercial that varies in cost by length and time of day. Think about it, you are involved in a messy car accident, the aftermath is shown on the local news. Do you receive a bill for services rendered for showing your damaged car on the local news? Have one of the anchors show the notice, read it out loud for a couple of days and it's just like getting a divorce, notification has been legally served, other than a divorce must be posted in the local news paper of the one being served.
Have you verified the cost with your local TV station or are you just making an assumption?
If correct, now you just need to let the FAA know how easy and inexpensive it is.
Sounds like you may work for a large company in the aviation industry with lots of employees. If that's the case, there are likely lots of non-commercial sUAS pilots employed there. Have you contacted your company's personnel dept. to see if they can forward the FAA's notice to all US based employees?
