Instruct FCC to strip NPR/PBS affiliates of NCE status and reserved-band privileges
Mandate says NPR/PBS should lose noncommercial educational denomination—including reserved FM band access and fee exemptions—because they are allegedly noneducational and run de facto ads.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 8 (Media Agencies / CPB) — Public Interest vs. Privilege: stripping public funding would remove public-interest presumption; they should no longer qualify as NCE stations; next President should instruct FCC to exclude PBS/NPR-affiliated stations from NCE denomination and privileges (reserved 88–92 MHz band; regulatory fee exemptions).
Undo plan
1) Rescind any FCC order removing NCE status from public radio/TV solely for alleged ideological bias.
2) Restore reserved-band and fee frameworks for bona fide noncommercial educational licensees.
3) Separate underwriting acknowledgment rules from commercial reclassification without process.
4) Require APA rulemaking with rural-coverage impact analysis before NCE changes.
5) Verify: FCC docket preserves educational set-asides; measure service loss in sparse markets.
