FCC Chairman Brendan Carr: We’ll Enforce Equal Time Laws for Candidates on Network Talk Shows
23 Jan 2026
Clay and Buck welcomed the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, to discuss his new effort to enforce equal time laws on late-night and daytime partisan talk shows. Carr also talked about his take on the Netflix-Comcast merger, his response to Jimmy Kimmel’s barbs — and more.
For years, legacy TV networks assumed that their late night & daytime talk shows qualify as “bona fide news” programs – even when motivated by purely partisan political purposes.
