Aug. 22, 2023: Founding President of Fox Broadcasting, Jamie Kellner filed urging the FCC to hold a hearing

On August 22, 2023, the Founding President of Fox Broadcasting Company (FBC), Jamie Kellner, filed a letter urging the FCC to hold a hearing on the broadcast-license renewal dispute.

“While I was President of FBC we started a news division that provided daily feeds of…news stories for the Fox-owned and affiliated television stations for inclusion in their locally produced newscasts,” former Fox President Jamie Kellner wrote. “Unlike the news feeds provided today by Fox News Channel, our news feeds did not prominently feature advocates like Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell spouting nonsensical lies about a presidential election.”

Given the lies some Fox entities are now known for, “if the character requirement for broadcast licensees is to have any meaning, the FCC must designate the application for a hearing to evaluate the Murdochs’s/Fox’s character qualifications to operate WTXF on the public airwaves,” Kellner said.
