AR 30 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Urges US President and FCC to investigate National Broadcasting Company for potential violation of FCC rule on equal opportunity broadcast time of political candidates.

This resolution urges the U.S. President and FCC to investigate NBC for potentially violating FCC rules requiring equal broadcast time for political candidates. It specifically cites NBC's November 2, 2024, SNL skit featuring presidential candidate Kamala Harris without comparable airtime for opposing candidate Donald Trump that night. The resolution states that FCC rules mandate equal opportunity for all qualified candidates, and NBC’s subsequent last-minute airtime for Trump during sports coverage may not satisfy this requirement. If a violation is found, the resolution calls for the FCC to suspend NBC’s broadcasting license. This is a procedural resolution, not a law, and does not alter existing FCC rules.
