Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

February 6, 2025 by Howard Buskirk, Monty Tayloe and Matt Daneman|Top News

New FCC Chairman Brendan Carr laid out an aggressive agenda for his first meeting as chair, with two items on future spectrum auctions, including a look at the upper C band. The FCC will also tackle wireless emergency alerts and robocalls and ways of strengthening the call-blocking capabilities of carriers. In addition, commissioners will consider an NPRM on the volume of broadcast commercials.

Carr Shows Interest in Calm Act Enforcement
January 23, 2025 |Media Notes

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr appeared to signal in posts on X Wednesday that the agency could consider stepping up enforcement of the Calm Act, which combats loud advertisements. “I’ve asked my team to look into this,” Carr said in a post. He was replying to a request for FCC intervention on loud ads; his Chief of Staff Greg Watson affirmed the response. The FCC sought comment on the effectiveness of Calm Act enforcement in 2021 under then-Chair Jessica Rosenworcel (see 2105210043), but that proceeding didn’t prompt rules or a visible increase in enforcement. MVPD groups said then that most complaints the FCC receives concerning Calm Act violations either aren’t specific enough to be actionable or concern streaming services.
