FCC Approves George Soros' Rapid Acquisition of 200+ Radio Stations
The decision, made by a partisan vote, bypasses the usual national security review process just weeks before the election.
- George Soros' group has been approved to acquire over 200 Audacy radio stations across 40 markets.
- The FCC's decision was made by a partisan vote, with three Democrats in favor and two Republicans against.
- Soros' acquisition involves foreign investment, which typically requires a national security review that was bypassed in this case.
- The Soros group plans to return to the FCC for the national security review process at a later date.
- Critics, including Republican FCC commissioners, argue that the decision sets a troubling precedent and may impact conservative talk radio.
