Nexstar Media Group has ordered most of its 160-plus local television stations to air segments during local newscasts that ultimately encourage viewers to contact the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with demands for broadcast ownership deregulation.
The segments began airing last Wednesday on dozens of Nexstar-owned or controlled TV stations across the country, and continued running throughout the weekend and into Monday morning, according to an analysis of news broadcasts by The Desk.
The stories highlight efforts by the FCC and its Chairman, Brendan Carr, to introduce deregulation efforts over the coming months, and specifically an initiative called “Delete, Delete, Delete,” through which the agency intends to heavily modify or eliminate some of its more-onerous rules.
