I'm still unclear (and have been asking for several years while only receiving vague responses) as to how the existence of the FCC is not a violation of the first amendment.

I would say that their mission to police decency standards is probably a violation of free expression. But their mission to license the use of broadcasting spectrum and regulate how devices radiate radio energy is pretty crucial.
