Is the First Amendment status of cable TV different than broadcast? Explain

What will be an ideal response?

[The degree of First Amendment protection afforded to cable was articulated by the Supreme Court in its 1994 Turner Broadcasting decision. Cable is not covered by the same "scarcity rationale" as broadcast, the Court said. Therefore, restrictions on cable should be scrutinized according to the standards generally applicable to other nonbroadcast media. This means strict scrutiny for content controls and intermediate scrutiny for content-neutral restrictions.]
