Whether one likes or dislikes George Soros, facts matter. In this case, he has dual citizenship with the US, so the "foreign ownership" rule does not apply.

Good point. It bears repeating that both parties supported the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which allowed these giant conglomerates to control more than 90% of the media/entertainment industries.

You forgot the Sinclair Broadcasting Group they own most of the Right wing radio stations ........

Sinclair doesn't own a single radio station. They sold off their radio stations many years ago. They only own TV now.

Also , George Soros doesn't own any radio stations either. An investment group he is the head of , purchased a portion of Audacy radio stock.
He has zero say in their programming despite what some seem to believe.

I'd like to see the requirement that Uniden scanners have to skip over encrypted transmissions eliminated.

Add Whistler to that too

You can just turn that setting off in the menu. Mine makes a phone sound instead.

Move administration of the amateur service to a third party. So much of it is already, like the testing, repeater coordination, etc All things the FCC used to do. What are they doing for us in reality? I bet not one single ham rule gets changed. They asked this same sort of thing in 2017, and other services did see regulation changes then.
