And in this definition of the public interest, that kind of programming would fit it where Jimmy Kimmel wouldn't.
And so what Daniel's very open about is I hope that this clears the path for more of that kind of content on TV.
So much has to happen to take away a license.
Even if you look back in history, look at the times when licenses were taken away and politics had anything to do with it.
Whatever the political charge was of bias or what have you, it was mixed in with serious charges of corruption, lying to the FCC about things, you know, part of a whole kit and caboodle.
What serves Endgame?
He's very open about his endgame.
It has to do with media consolidation.
We have to go back to the Kimmel situation.
If you'll recall, Jimmy Kimmel says his thing.
Brendan Carr says his thing, easy way or the hard way.
The first suspensions of Kimmel come from two major television station groups.
One is called Nexstar.
They own a lot of stations.
The other is Sinclair.
Now, not only are both led by conservatives who are perceived as Trump-friendly, but both are also in the market to buy many, many more television stations.
And Brandon Carr will be in charge of that, so they want to keep him happy.
But their purchase of those television stations, New Twist, would require a change in regulation.
Because of those old rules about what television could do, both of those companies have caps on how many Americans they're allowed to reach of 39%.
The idea is you don't want them owning too many stations.
