FCC Empowers Local Broadcast TV Stations
Agency approval of Nexstar - TEGNA TV station deal, with conditions committed to by Nexstar, promotes FCC's media policy goals of localism, diversity, and competition.
Read more 🧵⬇️
Brendan Carr@BrendanCarrFCC
For years, the FCC stood idly by while trusted sources of local news and information went out of business. Newspapers closed by the dozen in communities all across the country. Replaced by national programming that does not always meet local needs or the public interest. The reporters and journalists at local broadcast TV stations filled the void—providing trusted, gumshoe reporting. Today, the FCC acts to empower some of those broadcast TV stations. It does so by approving the combination of Nexstar and TEGNA TV stations. While Nexstar will own less than 15% of television stations after this deal, the transaction allows them to *increase* local news and compete in a more balanced way against the much larger players that now dominate today’s media market. The FCC’s conclusions are bolstered by certain concrete conditions that Nexstar has committed to as part of this deal—including divesting a number of stations, increasing localism, and affordability steps. Thank you to the FCC’s talented public servants for your work on this matter.

Great to join with @FCC colleagues - current and past - to recognize the 30 year anniversary of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
From the dial-up era to modern, high-speed networks a lot has changed!

Trusted and secure communications infrastructure across the Americas is critical to our enduring economic and national security in the United States. I was honored to participate in the @CommerceGov CLDP and @OAS_official CITEL programs in San Jose, Costa Rica focused on advancing regional efforts to expand connectivity, deploy 5G, and secure our telecom networks from foreign threats and cyberattacks. The @FCC remains committed to collaboration with our Latin America and Caribbean partners. I even had a chance to visit Hacienda La Chimba—and yes, attempt a handstand along the way.

A 2.5-second rocket flight that heralded decades of discovery in space!
Today marks 100 years since the first successful test of a liquid-fueled rocket. Robert H. Goddard's achievement would have appeared unimpressive by most measures: His rocket flew just 41 feet in the air, landing in a nearby cabbage patch. Liquid-propelled rocketry has been the backbone of spaceflight ever since.

One year ago, the @FCC stood up a new Council on National Security.
And we’ve been moving with unprecedented speed—kicking Bad Labs out of our system, advancing American drone dominance, helping providers harden their networks against attacks, stopping sales of illegal Covered List devices, and much more!

@brendancarfcc explains "the biggest deregulatory effort in the FCC's history" at our policy event with @mboyle1
"We went to all the bureaus and offices and we had everyone go through just page by page -- which rule is outdated, which rule can we get rid of, which rule can we cut in half. And so far we've gotten rid of, I think, just over 1000 regulations... 300 pages."
"There's things that [are about] regulation of telegraph services which don't exist, regulation of telephone booths. It's just stuff that got on the books and stayed on the books for decades."

.@BrendanCarrFCC: "We have started a proceeding to look at encouraging the onshoring of call centers...we’re looking at imposing standard English proficiency requirements...and we’re also looking at how foreign-originated robocalls can sometimes take advantage of some of those call centers."
