FCC Chair Brendan Carr is looking into Comcast’s “influence” over local stations.
In a letter to Comcast, Carr says he wants to make sure that the company’s “ability to exert influence” over local NBC affiliates doesn’t “undermine” their goal of serving the public interest.
Last week, Carr signed off on Paramount’s merger with Skydance — but only after Skydance said it would install a “bias monitor” at CBS, which recently canceled Stephen Colbert’s Late Show.
(Disclosure: Comcast is an investor in Vox Media, The Verge’s parent company.)
