Two prominent U.S. Senators have confronted the head of the Federal Communications Commission regarding his decision to greenlight a major broadcasting industry merger, according to a Bloomberg News report released Monday.
Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell directed their concerns toward FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, expressing disapproval of his choice to authorize Nexstar’s acquisition of Tegna.
The report regarding the senators’ challenge to the FCC chief has not been independently confirmed by Reuters at this time.
