✦AI Summary
The FCC is planning a vote to potentially eliminate the national ownership cap for broadcast TV stations, which currently limits a single company to reaching 39 percent of US households. Republican Chair Brendan Carr argues that streaming and social media have made the rule obsolete, while critics warn it could harm local journalism and exceed the FCC's legal authority.
The Federal Communications Commission will vote next month on whether a single company can own broadcast stations that reach more than 39 percent of US TV households.
