Chairman Carr Publishes Highlights from First 100 Days

On April 29, 2025, Chairman Carr issued a news release highlighting various agency actions and accomplishments during the first 100 days of the new Republican Administration. In broadcast specific matters, the Chairman lists “holding broadcasters accountable to their public interest obligations and empowering them to serve the interests of local communities,” no doubt a reference to the FCC’s payola, underwriting, and news distortion proceedings launched in the past few months.  The outcome of those proceedings, as well as investigations into DEI practices, remains to be seen.
