FCC Chief Calls for News License Review
FCC Chair Brendan Carr called for an investigation into news licenses. He said some broadcasters pushed fake news and false information.
Trump supported Carr's call to investigate news organizations. The FCC warned top United States news channels.
It threatened to cancel their broadcast permits. The warning targeted broadcasters pushing what Trump called hoaxes and false information. Tensions exist between broadcasters and the FCC over political content on air.
Klear Note — The FCC grants broadcast licenses to TV and radio stations. These licenses let stations use public airwaves. The FCC can take away licenses for rule violations.
