WASHINGTON D.C.—Top GOP members of Senate and House Committees overseeing the FCC have sent a letter to FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel criticizing the agencies handling of Standard General’s proposed acquisition of Tegna, saying its actions have “raised questions about the Commission’s fairness.
The letter was sent by Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who is the Chair of the E&C Committee in the House and Senator Ted Cruz, who is ranking member of the Senate Commerce Committee. These two Committees are responsible for Congressional oversight of the FCC.
