FCC investigates YouTube TV's treatment of faith-based programming

independent.co.uk

The chair of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, has sent a letter to Google seeking a briefing on allegations that YouTube TV discriminates against faith-based programming. This follows complaints from broadcasters, including Great American Media. Carr highlighted concerns that YouTube TV may marginalize faith-based content, citing Great American Media's claim that its network is not carried by the service. He noted that the FCC is reviewing its authority over virtual video distributors like YouTube TV. In response, a YouTube spokesperson stated that the company is open to discussing its business decisions and denied having policies against religious content. Additionally, Google is facing scrutiny from Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan regarding potential censorship related to the Biden administration.
