FCC Chair Calls for Patriotic Broadcasts Ahead of America’s 250th Anniversary
In a recent announcement, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr urged U.S. broadcasters to air programming that celebrates the nation’s 250th birthday, proposing a voluntary “Pledge America” campaign. Carr’s proposal, outlined in a speech to the National Association of Broadcasters, encourages stations to feature historic documentaries, civic‑education segments, and patriotic music, while also inviting them to sign a pledge promising to uphold American values in their content.
The move aligns with the Trump administration’s broader push for “nationalistic” media, and comes as the FCC continues its efforts to reshape the media landscape. While participation is voluntary, Carr emphasized that stations could showcase their commitment through on‑air graphics and special segments.
