FCC Chairman Brendan Carr Takes Aim at Network-Affiliate Relations

FCC chairman Brendan Carr has been making waves in Hollywood with his aggressive stance on complaints regarding the editorial content of major media platforms such as “60 Minutes,” NPR, and PBS. His latest target? Network-affiliate relations between ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and the 150-plus TV stations that carry their programming. Carr has expressed concern over complaints from station owners who feel pressured to air programs that do not align with their local community’s interests. In response, he is hinting at potential probes into these agreements to empower local broadcasters to better serve their communities.

Carr highlighted the need for reform in TV station ownership regulations, pointing out the disparity between the restrictions placed on broadcasters and the freedom enjoyed by tech giants like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Apple. He believes that loosening these restrictions could level the playing field for local stations competing against Big Tech in the advertising market.

While Carr and CNBC anchor David Faber delved into the intricacies of spectrum auctions and FCC policies during a recent Q&A session, they also touched on the ongoing controversies surrounding “60 Minutes” and the pending sale of CBS parent Paramount Global. The FCC’s approval of license transfers for CBS-owned stations is currently delaying the completion of the $8 billion sale, amidst other legal battles involving the network.

Carr faced questions about the perceived political motivations behind the FCC’s actions, particularly in light of President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against “60 Minutes” and the network’s coverage of his campaign. Despite the scrutiny, Carr maintained that the FCC is conducting its reviews impartially and in accordance with standard procedures.

As a former FCC attorney and now chairman, Carr expressed his satisfaction with the commission’s work under the current administration. He emphasized the importance of upholding regulatory standards while also adapting to the evolving media landscape. Carr remains committed to ensuring fair competition and empowering local broadcasters to better serve their audiences.
