(NATIONAL) — In March, Chairman Brendan Carr of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) launched a massive deregulation initiative, which seeks to get public comment on "every rule, regulation, or guidance document that the FCC should eliminate for the purposes of alleviating unnecessary regul atory burdens." According to an FCC press release on March 12, the agency opened a new docket, titled "In re: Delete, Delete, Delete," which followed "President Trump’s leadership and the Trump Administration’s decision to usher in prosperity through deregulation." "Under President Trump’s leadership, the Administration is unleashing a new wave of economic opportunity by ending the regulatory onslaught from Washington," Chairman Carr said. The FCC is now seeking the public's help in rethinking some of the Commission's regulations, which impact local television stations like FOX21 News. Outdated FCC regulations make it difficult for local broadcast companies to continue growing and investing to meet the new realities of the media marketplace, which now offers consumers more choices than ever. As the nation's largest local broadcast company, Nexstar believes that modernizing these rules is essential to ensuring that audiences continue to receive the high-quality, local news and content they deserve. Nexstar Media Group, Inc. The FCC is accepting comments from the public through Monday, April 14.
