Today marks President Donald Trump's first 100 days in his second termand MondayFCC Chairman Brendan Carr highlighed his swift implementation of the administration’s agenda at the Federal Communications Commission.
“We’ve been acting with urgency at the FCC,” Carr stated on Monday.
Speaking to reporters, he emphasized his focus on strengthening local broadcasters as a cornerstone of his media policy.
“Our goal is to empower local broadcasters to prioritize the needs of their communities, rather than merely relaying content from Hollywood and New York,” Carr explained. “Much of our media agenda is driven by this commitment to localism.”
Carr’s emphasis on local stations stems from studies showing that Americans trust local broadcasters far more than national networks, a trust he attributes to their visible presence in communities. To support this, the FCC is pushing TV networks to grant affiliates greater flexibility in programming.
“Localism is a core pillar of our media policy,” Carr affirmed.
