It's not surprisng he doubled down. That's his only move.

I don't think he can legally have any press at all unless he gives equal access to all press. Even a state-run agency is not exempted.

I mean maybe he'll get special permission from SCOTUS, but it will come to that.

Also the name on the network implies he intends to keep the station privately, and that runs contrary to the notion the channel is state run.

Nah, not "state run". It will just get funds from the government and rich friends, and most of it will be funnelled in his pocket as usual, all to only report on what HE is doing or saying. Maybe cable ops will be forced to include it in their packages, who knows?

So a fusion of the state and business interests? Like in Italy in the 1920s and 1930s?

That's what TruthSocial is now, and to a certain extent other private social networks (X, Facebook, etc.), since they're run by oligarchs who submit to his will. It's the modern version of fascist Italy.
