Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr called on local TV stations<\/a> to “rebalance” the airwaves Wednesday, urging them to move away from some national network programming in favor of patriotic content.<\/p>\n

Appearing on the “Pod Force One” podcast<\/a>, Carr discussed a shifting power dynamic where local stations are reclaiming control from Hollywood. He specifically pointed to last year\u2019s local blackout of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”<\/a> as an example of the shift.<\/p>\n

“They\u2019ve amassed a tremendous amount of power,”\u00a0Carr told reporter Miranda Devine, referring to legacy broadcast networks.<\/p>\n

“They\u2019ve effectively turned those local TV stations into mouthpieces for the foie gras, oftentimes, that they\u2019re producing in New York and Hollywood,” he added.<\/p>\n

Carr explained that a “north star” for the Trump administration\u2019s broadcasting reforms is correcting what they see as a left-leaning media slant. He noted they\u2019re looking to “rebalance” that skew.<\/p>\n

“We want to empower those local TV stations to actually stand up for their local communities,” Carr said.<\/p>\n

“And if New York or Hollywood is pushing programming that they don\u2019t think is a good fit, then they can take action,” he added.<\/p>\n

This local power was exerted in September after comedian Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s show was pulled off the air following his remarks regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kimmel suggested the suspect was a Trump supporter, saying, “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”<\/p>\n

Disney suspended Kimmel for several days, but eventually allowed his return. However, ABC affiliates Nexstar and Sinclair continued to pull the program from their schedules in protest. The stations resumed airing the show<\/a> after a public apology from the comedian.<\/p>\n

“I think that was a really good thing,” Carr said of the Kimmel ban, adding, “It was the first sign in many, many years of a local TV station actually pushing back on New York and Hollywood, and we want to see a lot more of that.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The FCC is also pushing for proactive patriotic content. In February, it launched the “Pledge America Campaign<\/a>,” which encourages broadcasters to feature more “pro-America” content ahead of the nation\u2019s 250th birthday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
