AI Summary

  • New Jersey Assembly Resolution urges the President and FCC to investigate NBC for potential violation of the FCC's equal time rule regarding political candidates' broadcast access.

  • The resolution cites NBC's November 2, 2024 Saturday Night Live broadcast featuring presidential candidate Kamala Harris three days before the election, alleging Donald Trump was not provided equal airtime on the same program.

  • NBC subsequently provided Trump airtime during NASCAR Playoffs and NFL coverage on November 3, 2024, but the resolution argues this may not constitute comparable broadcast time and placement.

  • If NBC is found in violation of FCC political programming rules, the resolution calls for suspension of NBC's broadcasting license.

  • Copies of the resolution would be transmitted to the President of the United States and the FCC Chairwoman.
