Brendan Carr, Soon To Be FCC Chair, Says Commission Will Back Local TV Stations “Even If That’s In Conflict” With Broadcast Networks
admin 2024/12/08 23:31Brendan Carr, an FCC commissioner who is Donald Trump’s pick to chair the regulatory body, vowed to back local TV stations even if that conflicts with the interests of national broadcast networks.
“Broadcast licenses are not sacred cows,” Carr said in the interview (WATCH IT ABOVE). “At the same time, when you think about media, separate it into two issues, right? You’ve got the national networks, for instance ABC, NBC, CBS. They provide a lot of the content that the actual licensed local broadcasts disseminate. And so we need to look at empowering those local broadcasters to serve their local communities, even if that’s in conflict with the interests of those national networks. I mean, at the end of the day, you’ve got all this content from Hollywood and New York that’s being distributed down through these local broadcasters. Let’s make sure they feel empowered to do the right thing by their local community.”
