K2@newsguyusa Excellent news! (yes pun intended)
thecampbell@newsguyusa Now give them their money back!
SoftspeakI don't think a speech from Mr. Rogers would move Trump, in fact I am thankful Fred Rogers is not here to witness someone that is the opposite of the good he was.
Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲More of this, for everything, please.
Nazani@newsguyusa I'm sure he fully intends to have the FCC pull NPR's broadcasting license.

That's not how it works. NPR doesn't broadcast anything; their member stations do. So, the administration would have to pull hundreds or thousands of individual broadcast licenses.
Trump might do that, I suppose, but it's not as easy as yanking a single license and would lead to a multitude of lawsuits, all of which he would likely lose.
Comrade Weez@bruce ding ding ding! As you say, networks are not FCC licensed. only operators of transmitters are licensed. Trump perpetually threatens to revoke broadcast licenses where none exist. Leads to much eyerollfacepalming by broadcast engineers. Now to reconstitute the CPB. @Nazani @newsguyusa
ethergear@newsguyusa Corporation for Public Broadcasting still shut down
Proto Himbo European@newsguyusa This is good news. With all that money they'll have to stop bombing Iranian children for a day or so, right?
