FCC commish Brendan Carr has announced that the FCC is investigating San Francisco radio station KCBS 740AM. The investigation is focussing on the fact that the radio station revealed locations and vehicle information of undercover ICE officials.
The station is a part of the Audacy group, a radio conglomerate that George Soros controls. Soros bought a majority stake in the company last year after a politicized fast-track waver. The waiver war required because the Soros purchase would create a more than 20% foreign ownership stake.
On the Jan. 26 edition of KCBS Radio Weekend News, the host revealed specific information about undercover ICE agents who were “carrying out an operation on the east side of town.”
“The Santa Clara County Rapid Response Network, which is a community defense projecting system for immigrant communities against deportation threats, first reported the activity on its platforms,” the host told listeners. The host then revealed the specific make, color and model of several unmarked vehicles used in the operation. The station also revealed the exact locations of several ICE agents working in the area.
The FCC Enforcement Bureau is looking into whether the radio station — which is licensed to operate by the FCC — is violating the terms of its FCC license. The licence requires that it operates in the “public interest.”
