Rule changes require broadcasters to beef up foreign sponsorship identification
The National Association of Broadcasters is trying a fresh tactic in hopes of blocking the FCC’s new foreign ownership identification requirements. It is asking for help from the government’s Office of Management and Budget.
Recall that last June, the FCC’s Democratic majority modified the sponsorship identification requirements for foreign government-provided programming. It did so after a federal appeals court in 2022 rejected an earlier version of the initiative.
