The Media Bureau sets aside its prior order in this proceeding.
With that, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr reversed a late-hour decision by former Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel to have an Acting Media Bureau Chief dismiss on delegated authority a complaint against NBC and an Acting Enforcement Bureau Chief toss on similar authority complaints against CBS and ABC on the grounds that the actions were premature.
The decision by Carr led one Democrat-aligned Commissioner to slam the Chairman for “weaponization” of the FCC’s licensing authority.
