Warren Statement on FCC Voting to Scrap Ownership Limit for TV Station Owners

Washington, D.C. — Following the announcement by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr that the FCC will vote to remove a longstanding market ownership cap on owners of television stations, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released the following statement: “Trump’s FCC Chair is trying to illegally rewrite the rules to make it easier for billionaires to line their own pockets while jacking up costs and controlling what Americans watch. After rubber-stamping the Nexstar-Tegna megamerger, this looks like the Trump administration’s latest attempt to roll out the red carpet for more antitrust disasters.” ###
