FCC calls for more 'patriotic, pro-America' programming in run-up to 250th anniversary
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is urging broadcasters to air more "patriotic, pro-America" content in honor of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. One of the largest broadcast media groups, Nexstar Media, which operates more than 200 owned or partner stations in 116 markets, announced offerings related to the anniversary, including "My American Story." , a major network TV group, said it announced in October the launch of "Amazing America 250: From Neighborhood to Nation," which it billed as a multi-platform celebration of American history, culture, innovation and community spirit.
