You are wrong.
The FCC *does* regulate cable television.

from http://www.fcc.gov/aboutus.html

"The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent United States
government agency, directly responsible to Congress. The FCC was established
by the Communications Act of 1934 and is charged with regulating interstate
and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and
cable. The FCC's jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the District of
Columbia, and U.S. possessions."
