Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr is investigating a radio station owned by the George Soros-controlled Audacy. The development comes as a response to an MRC bombshell which revealed that the radio station unmasked undercover law enforcement agents conducting operations in the gang activity-plagued San Jose, California.
MRC Business released a report January 27 documenting how KCBS 740 AM elevated the unmasking of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from the leftist Rapid Response Network, which fights against deportations during the January 26 edition of KCBS Radio Weekend News. Anchor Bret Burkhart shockingly gave exact descriptions of the unmarked vehicles the undercover ICE agents were reportedly using, including specific locations.
NewsNation confirmed January 27 that the agents were conducting an operation in the area around that time, meaning their cover was potentially blown and they were placed in significant danger.
In response, Fox News reported that the FCC Enforcement Bureau “has already sent a formal Letter of Inquiry to the radio station as part of the FCC investigation.” According to Fox News, “The Enforcement Bureau proceeding is inquiring whether the radio station--which is licensed to operate by the FCC--is violating the terms of their FCC license, which requires that they operate in the ‘public interest.’ In accordance with MRC’s reporting, “The formal Enforcement Bureau Letter notes that the ICE agents were operating at the time in an area known for violent gang activity.”

Carr released a statement to Fox News formally putting KCBS 740 AM on notice:
‘I want to express my thanks and appreciation to DHS and ICE agents. These law enforcement professionals are honorably serving this country and carrying out vital missions. Their safety is paramount. The FCC will hold broadcasters accountable for complying with their public interest obligations.’
Soros purchased $400 million, or a 40 percent stake, of the bankrupt Audacy in February 2024. Notably, Audacy, which is America’s second biggest radio company, features or streams at least 16 powerful 50,000-watt radio stations, which means that their coverage is especially widespread. KCBS 740 AM was one of the stations prominently implicated in that deal. Biden's FCC, prior to Carr taking the lead, arbitrarily fast-tracked Soros’s purchase of the radio giant in a dubious detour from the regulatory agency’s rigorous review process.
