New York Republican Rep. Nick Langworthy sent a letter Monday to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), calling on them to investigate liberal billionaire George Soros’ purchase of Audacy, Inc., the nation’s second-largest radio company that holds hundreds of local radio stations.
The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the letter, in which Langworthy says it is the FCC’s role to regulate radio communications and make sure this does not further Soros’ efforts to control the media and flood local radio with far-left ideology. He calls for the FCC to ensure the protection of consumers and reaffirm the critical role of local radio.
Semafor reported Sunday that Soros’s firm, which is now controlled by Open Society Foundations (OSF), has been investing in radio heavily in the last few years, becoming the largest shareholder in Audacy in February. The outlet reported that Audacy is the second-largest radio company in the U.S. that has over 230 stations.
Soros’ organization has established a pattern of acquiring media platforms, including radio shows and podcasts,’ the Daily Caller explains.
Below is the letter from Rep, Langworthy, asking for the FCC “to thoroughly scrutinize the transfer of ownership of Audacy Inc. to Soros Fund Management.”
“I believe that this sale is the latest in a series of moves by a partisan, progressive billionaire to consolidate control over the media and flood hundreds of local radio stations with far-left ideology and propaganda,” Langworthy warned.
He said this “suggests a serious effort to silence opposing voices on the airwaves.”
