WASHINGTON, D.C. (WHNT) — Over the years, the ways we consume media have changed, but many of the regulations regarding that media have not.
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr is asking for the public’s help in rethinking some of the Commission’s regulations—asking for people to weigh in on regulations they feel should be revised or eliminated.
The FCC regulates media and telecommunications companies and local television stations like WHNT, and Chairman Carr says he is a big supporter of local news.
The initiative is called “Delete, delete, delete,” and it was announced by the Chairman last month in a press release and on the social media platform “X.”
“For too long, administrative agencies have added new regulatory requirements in excess of their authority or kept lawful regulations in place long after their shelf life had expired. … The FCC is committed to ending all of the rules and regulations that are no longer necessary. And we welcome the public’s participation and feedback throughout this process.”
By modernizing the rules and regulations through the initiative, Carr said he hopes it will help assure audiences receive high-quality local news and other content they deserve.
The FCC is accepting comments from the public through April 14.
