The FCC voted to eliminate the 39 percent national television-ownership cap, a law that Congress passed — and that the agency has no authority to repeal. Chairman Carr wants to clear the way for Trump-aligned media conglomerates to dominate local-TV markets across the country.
Free Press fought this effort at the agency — and now we’re taking Carr to court. In March, we sued over his unlawful waiver of this same cap to approve the Nexstar-Tegna merger and assisted state attorneys general in their antitrust lawsuit to block it. A federal court halted that deal.
We don’t take a cent from business, government or political parties, so we depend on you to keep the pressure on. Your gift today helps us take this fight to court and hold the FCC accountable.
