Washington, February 1 (RHC)-- Newly appointed Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr has ordered an investigation into National Public Radio and the Public Broadcast System, as the Trump administration seeks to cut off funding to public broadcasters.
Carr says he’s focused on whether underwriting announcements from corporate sponsors cross the line into prohibited advertisements, but the attack comes after Trump adviser Elon Musk proposed ending Congress’s $535 million annual allocation to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
