A Republican commissioner “objected” to the FCC’s apparent approval of a deal that would allow left-wing billionaire George Soros to acquire over 200 Audacy radio stations nationwide.
Despite opposition from the FCC commissioner nominated by Trump, George Soros is getting closer to controlling 200 radio stations.
The FCC last week “adopted an order to approve Soros’ purchase of more than 200 radio stations in 40 markets just weeks before the presidential election,” according to a story first published by The New York Post.
Nick Langworthy, R-N.Y., the FCC circumvented its regular operating procedures and protocols in order to speed a mandatory review of broadcast licenses.
Comer and Langworthy wrote to Jessica Rosenworcel, the chair of the FCC, asking records and correspondence in order to comprehend the FCC’s activities.
The owner of over 200 radio stations is Audacy Inc. In an attempt to restructure the company under chapter 11, Soros is trying to buy $415 million in debt.
Comer and Langworthy issued a warning, pointing out that Soros finances groups “promot[ing] speech restriction and conservative online censorship.”
