π‘ NEW: The Federal Communications Commission has already changed the programming of one of televisionβs last remaining relevant daytime talk shows β before even making any formal demands,
@maxwelltani reports.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr announced in February the agency was investigating whether The View violated the βequal timeβ rule, a 1930s regulation that requires broadcast programs to give equal airtime to opposing candidates if they permit a candidate for public office to appear on public airwaves.
Since then, the ABC talk show hasnβt featured a single political candidate running in a competitive midterm race, according to a Semafor analysis.
