FCC’s Carr says network oversight a needed course correction

Season 2025 Episode 212 | 9m 40s

We continue our look at the FCC’s decision to allow Paramount, the parent company of CBS, to merge with the Hollywood studio Skydance. The scrutinized media deal was approved in a 2-1 vote after Paramount agreed to a settlement with President Trump and Skydance agreed to other concessions. Geoff Bennett discussed more with FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who voted in favor of the merger.
