WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Wednesday, the four voting members of the FCC appeared at an oversight hearing convened by a House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology that touched on Republican leadership’s concerns over the aborted TEGNA acquisition by Standard General, among other key topics including spectrum auction authorization.
That failed deal was again a focal point of discussions regarding the Commission on Thursday, this time at a Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation nominations hearing to consider the renominations of two FCC Commissioners, a nomination for FCC Inspector General, and the all-important nomination by the Biden Administration of Anna Gomez for the long-empty fifth seat on the Commission.
