华盛顿，2月20日（路透社） – 联邦通信委员会主席周五敦促美国广播公司播放”爱国、亲美国内容”，以纪念今年美国建国250周年。
FCC主席布伦丹·卡尔建议广播公司可通过播放无党派公益广告、简短片段或完整专题节目，宣传公民教育和美国历史，自愿参与这次半世纪庆典活动。

他还表示，广播公司可选择每天开播时播放《星条旗永不落》或《效忠誓词》，并播放美国著名作曲家的音乐作品。
这一宣布正值特朗普领导的FCC多次与广播网发生冲突。
美国全国广播公司（NBC）、福克斯（Fox）、哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）和美国广播公司（ABC）未立即置评。
不再播放国歌
直到20世纪80年代，许多地方电视台在每日节目结束时仍会播放国歌，这一做法因全天候广播而被淘汰。
卡尔于2025年1月由唐纳德·特朗普总统任命为FCC主席，他在FCC每月会议前都会带头宣读《效忠誓词》这一爱国誓言。
卡尔表示，希望广播公司承诺播放公民教育节目，以履行”在纪念美国250周年庆典之际服务当地社区需求和利益的公共利益使命”。
针对广播公司的投诉
本周，卡尔证实FCC正在调查美国广播公司《观点》节目在采访德克萨斯州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉利科（民主党参议员候选人）时是否违反了平等时间规则。哥伦比亚广播公司深夜脱口秀主持人斯蒂芬·科尔伯特称，CBS律师禁止他采访塔拉利科。
FCC上月宣布，日间和深夜电视脱口秀不再被视为”真正的”新闻节目，因此无需遵守向对立候选人观点提供平等播出时间的规定。数十年来，脱口秀节目一直豁免于这些规定。
卡尔多次批评新闻媒体，暗示广播网需要重大改革。
今年1月，他重新提出投诉，涉及《60分钟》对当时副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的采访、美国广播新闻如何主持拜登与特朗普的大选前电视辩论，以及全国广播公司允许哈里斯在大选前不久出现在《周六夜现场》节目中。

WASHINGTON, Feb 20 (Reuters) – The head of the Federal Communications Commission urged U.S. broadcasters on Friday to air “patriotic, pro-America content” to mark this year’s 250th anniversary of the United States’ founding.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr suggested broadcasters could voluntarily take part in the semiquincentennial celebrations by running nonpartisan public service announcements, short segments, or full specials promoting civic education and American history.

He said they could also choose to start each day’s broadcast with “The Star-Spangled Banner” or the Pledge of Allegiance, and could air music by major American composers.
The announcement comes as the Trump-led FCC has repeatedly clashed with broadcast networks.
NBC, Fox, CBS and ABC did not immediately comment.
NO MORE NATIONAL ANTHEM
Until the 1980s, many local affiliates would play the national anthem when they signed off programming for the day, a practice made obsolete by round-the-clock broadcasting.
Carr, who was named FCC chair by President Donald Trump in January 2025, initiated a practice of saying the Pledge of Allegiance – a patriotic oath – before the FCC’s monthly meetings.

Carr said he hoped broadcasters would pledge to show civics programs to fulfill “their public interest mandate to serve the needs and interests of their local communities as America’s 250th birthday celebration marches on.”
COMPLAINTS AGAINST BROADCASTERS
This week, Carr confirmed that the FCC is investigating ABC’s “The View” over whether it violated equal time rules when it aired an interview with Texas State Representative James Talarico, a Democrat running for the U.S. Senate. CBS late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert said lawyers for CBS had barred him from airing an interview with Talarico.
The FCC said last month that daytime and late-night TV talk shows are no longer considered “bona fide” news programs that are exempt from requirements to give equal air time to views of opposing candidates. For decades talk shows had been exempt from those rules.
Carr has repeatedly criticised the news media and suggested that broadcast networks need significant reforms.
In January, he reinstated complaints about a “60 Minutes” interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris, how ABC News moderated the pre-election televised debate between then-President Joe Biden and Trump and NBC for allowing Harris to appear on “Saturday Night Live” shortly before the election.
