A South Florida CEO was sentenced to five years for the largest FCC fraud in history, stealing over $100M from programs meant to help vulnerable communities.

Some members of the Democratic Party are theorizing that the cancellation of "The Late Show" with Stephen Colbert was political in nature, claims which arise amid a Trump settlement with Paramount and a forthcoming merger between the company and Skydance Media.

On Thursday, the FCC voted 2-1 to approve the $8.4 billion merger between CBS parent Paramount Global (PARA.O) and Skydance Media after Skydance agreed to ensure CBS news and entertainment programming is free of bias, hire an ombudsman for at least two years to review complaints and end diversity programs.

Whether this leaves the FCC under Carr’s oversight with pause for thought is arguable – the chairman is known for the 'Delete, Delete, Delete’ scheme that aims to cut the amount of regulation imposed across the telecoms, media, and tech sectors.

Despite this regrettable outcome, this Administration is not done with its assault on the First Amendment. In fact, it may only be beginning," Anna M. Gomez said.

Brendan Carr said CBS’s decision to “get rid” of DEI and “bias” was what “made the difference” in FCC decision to approve Paramount merger.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr joined former commission chairs, lawmakers, and others at the 2025 Former FCC Chairs' Symposium in Washington, DC, as he discussed the Commission's "Build America Agenda."

Fox News host Bill Hemmer asked a very direct question to the chair of the Federal Communications Commission on Thursday morning—and Brendan Carr gave a very indirect answer.
