FCC’s Carr to Newsmax: Fast-Tracked Soros Radio Takeover ‘Unprecedented’

Brendan Carr, a Federal Communications Commission commissioner, told Newsmax on Thursday that the agency’s recent decision to fast-track the takeover of 200 radio stations by a company tied to billionaire George Soros is something that’s never been done before.

The FCC on Sept. 30 approved the transfer of licenses for 200 radio stations to a company controlled by the Fund for Policy Reform, a nonprofit funded by Soros.

“This decision by the commission, which was a partisan 3-2 vote, is entirely unprecedented,” the Republican said during an appearance on “The Chris Salcedo Show.”
