Overview
In response to FCC criticism, NBC aired Trump ads following Kamala Harris's SNL appearance. FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr labeled Harris's appearance a breach of the Equal Time Rule, asserting it granted her an unfair advantage close to Election Day. NBC maintained Harris's spot was 'free use', but aired Trump's direct appeal to voters on two platforms on Sunday, suggesting compliance with the Equal Time Rule. The FCC has yet to make determinations regarding this incident, and NBC's actions continue to generate scrutiny.
