Not just "off the air," either. I'd be surprised if 1% of Kimmel's viewership receives the show over the air.
The distinction is vital. The FCC's stewardship of the public airwaves as a limited natural resource is the only reason we granted them this extraconstitutional power in the first place. When the airwaves aren't actually involved, the FCC should have no say whatsoever.
