FCC Ends Decades-Old Rule for TV, Radio.
After nearly 80 years, federal regulators have ended the rule that TV and radio stations must keep a main studio in or near the communities where they report local news. Critics of the decision say it will let bigger stations lay off local staff, distance themselves from communities and dictate local news without being invested. Doc taps his years in radio to analyze what the elimination of the rule means.
To see more from Doc, visit his channel on TheBlaze and listen live to “The Morning Blaze with Doc Thompson” weekdays 6–9am ET, only on TheBlaze Radio Network.
