FCC Launches Investigation into NPR and PBS for Potentially Violating Ad Rules

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has initiated an investigation into NPR and PBS to determine if the messages aired by these taxpayer-funded broadcasters are in violation of rules against running commercial advertisements. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr expressed concerns about NPR and PBS potentially airing commercials that could breach federal laws.

Carr specifically pointed out corporate underwriting announcements broadcast by NPR and PBS member stations as a potential violation of rules prohibiting public broadcasters from running commercial ads. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that taxpayer dollars are not used to support for-profit entities or those airing commercial advertisements.

He plans to share the investigation results with Congress, which could lead to discussions about defunding the outlets if violations are found. NPR’s chief executive, Katherine Maher, defended the organization’s underwriting messages, stating confidence in their adherence to regulations. Similarly, PBS head Paula Kerger welcomed the chance to demonstrate compliance with advertising restrictions to the FCC.

Conservatives have been critical of NPR and PBS, accusing them of biased news coverage and pushing political agendas. Rep. Scott Perry co-sponsored the No Propaganda Act in Congress, aiming to restrict funding for public broadcasters. Former President Trump also expressed support for cutting funding to NPR, labeling them as a “liberal disinformation machine.”
