FCC asks stations for pro-America programming, like daily Pledge of Allegiance
Summary
Ars Technica reports that FCC Chair Brendan Carr urged broadcasters to participate in a voluntary Pledge America Campaign to air patriotic programming for America’s 250th birthday. The guidance outlines examples such as starting broadcasts with the national anthem or Pledge of Allegiance and including civic education, local history segments, and American music, while critics worry about First Amendment implications and potential regulatory leverage.
