• He misstated Comcast chief Brian Roberts’ role and conflated NBC with MSNBC, which carries PoliticsNation on weekends.
• The FCC licenses local broadcast stations and does not regulate cable networks such as MSNBC, underscoring the limits on any content-based action.
• Comcast and NBCUniversal are moving to spin off MSNBC into a separate company reported as Versant or MS NOW, further distinguishing it from NBC.
• No FCC probe or license action has been announced, and the push follows recent pressure episodes involving FCC Chair Brendan Carr and ABC’s brief suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live.
