WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, has announced that he will convene a full committee hearing titled “We Interrupt This Program: Media Ownership in the Digital Age” on Tuesday, Feb. 10, at 10 a.m. EST that will examine the Federal Communications Commission’s current broadcast media ownership rules.
The hearing comes at a time when the FCC is considering whether to modify current ownership rules as part of its Quadrennial 2022 Review. FCC Chair Brendan Carr has indicated his willingness to modify the rules as a way of strengthening local broadcasters but the regulator has made no final decision.
