CAR petitions FCC for ‘strict conditions’ on proposed Paramount owner transfer

The Center for American Rights announced it has filed a petition with the Federal Communications Commission calling for “strict conditions” on the proposed ownership transfer involving Skydance Media and Paramount (PARA) Global. “CAR urges the new corporation to demonstrate how it will protect content from undue foreign influence, promote viewpoint diversity on the airwaves, and treat all employees equally without regard to race or gender. The petition asks the Commission to place the approval on a probationary status for an appropriate period of years until compliance with the conditions is evident,” the group stated.
