I doubt anyone just has the TV rights. Film rights are usually sold based on showings, like so much money in trade to show the film 10 times, or so on. So the television rights can really bounce around from company to company depending on what Lucasfilm wants.

Fox has Empire and Jedi right now. New Hope is always on TBS or WB.

If by original, you're meaning not only eps 4-6, but the untinkered versions, nobody would. Lucas has pulled them for his new versions. He even tried to replace the version that the Film Archive has. I believe they told him to go pound sand.
