WASHINGTON, Nov. 7, 2024 – In President Donald Trump’s new administration, Federal Communications Commission Commissioner Brendan Carr says that the FCC needs to help rein in Big Tech and make sure broadcasters serve the public interest.

“I want to congratulate President Trump on his historic election victory,” Republican Carr said Thursday in a statement. “When the transition is complete, the FCC will have an important role to play reining in Big Tech, ensuring that broadcasters operate in the public interest, and unleashing economic growth.”

House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., Wednesday told FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel that the time had to come to limit her agenda over the next 75 days to just non-controversial items.
