During a Fox Business interview, Carr praised the Pledge America Campaign, launched February 20, which invites broadcasters to air voluntary pro-America content like the Star-Spangled Banner, 'Today in American History' segments, and patriotic music by John Philip Sousa. The effort backs President Trump's Salute to America 250 Task Force and ties into economic bright spots, such as cooling inflation at 2.4% and wages growing faster. While supporters cheer the civic pride, critics on social media raise alarms over potential First Amendment pressures, though the FCC stresses it's entirely optional and no pledges have come in yet.

Key Takeaway

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr envisions a wave of patriotic broadcasts as the nation nears its 250th birthday in 2026. He's calling on stations to kick off days with the Pledge of Allegiance or spotlight local history.
