00:00One of the north stars of the policies we're pushing here at the FCC is to rebalance that.
00:05We want to empower those local TV stations to actually stand up for their local communities.
00:11And if New York or Hollywood is pushing programming that they don't think is a good fit, then they can
00:15take action.
00:16In fact, that is what happened in the Kimmel episode where you had owners of those local TV stations that
00:21said, right now, in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, we have stations in Utah, stations in other places
00:27around the U.S.
00:28We don't want to run that right now.
00:30And so they didn't.
00:31And so actually, I think that was a really good thing.
00:32It was the first sign in many, many years of a local TV station actually pushing back on New York
00:38and Hollywood.
00:39And we want to see a lot more of that.
