The FCC Is Fast-Tracking Soros’ Acquisition of 200 Radio Stations

George Soros’ attempt to purchase hundreds of radio stations has not only been approved but is being expedited by the government agency overseeing broadcast regulations.
This decision seems to be influenced by a Democratic majority on the agency’s panel.
Last week, the Federal Communications Commission issued a directive permitting Soros, through his company Soros Fund Management, to acquire Audacy, the second-largest radio network in the country.
Audacy runs radio stations in over 46 U.S. markets and features programs by Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, and others. There are genuine concerns that Soros might attempt to suppress these voices in the lead-up to the November elections.
Rep. Chip Roy first raised the issue about the FCC’s questionable handling of Soros’ actions back in April.
However, by the time Roy exposed the situation, Soros had already invested around $400 million into Audacy several months earlier.
“But instead of going through the usual petition for declaratory ruling process, which would enable the FCC to review and assess those foreign ownership interests as part of its transaction review, the Soros group has asked the FCC to waive that process and put it off until sometime down the road,” Roy wrote in a letter to the FCC, “indicating that those foreign stakeholders will be given ‘special warrants’ in the meantime.”
