Filing triggers 'Equal Time' requirement, but will be difficult to meet in time for Tuesday election
NBC acknowledged giving Vice President Kamala Harris free air time on this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live” program.
The “Equal Time” filing with the Federal Communications Commission, however, was made Sunday evening, probably too late for equal time to be given to Ms. Harris’ rivals.
“Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate for president in the 2024 national election, appeared without charge on NBC’s ’Saturday Night Live’ (SNL) for a total period of 1 minute and 30 seconds on November 2, 2024,” the network states in its notice, according to a report on Fox News.
Usually, Fox News explained, that would impose on NBC an obligation to give the same amount of time upon demand to former President Donald Trump and any other presidential candidates.
However, they have to do this within a seven-day period, which largely moots this remedy since the election will be over in less than two days and any appearance would take some time to figure out.
“It would usually open up a seven-day period when all other qualified candidates can seek Equal Time from NBC - meaning comparable time on a comparable program. Here, opposing candidates don’t have seven days,” FCC commissioner Brendan Carr told Fox News.

Okay, so the commie a-holes “admitted” it. So what’s going to be done about it? Harriz, a Jamaican/Indian/Canadian broke the law.
NBC “Yeah, we did it and you can’t do anything about it”.
They reciprocated by Giving President Trump 90 seconds AFTER the end of Yesterday’s NASCAR Xfinity 500.
They thought they were being slick and that everyone would turn the broadcast off as soon as the race ended.
They didn’t plan for the Byron/Bell controversy that kept everyone glued to their sets waiting to see how NASCAR ruled.
As a result millions got to see The Donald speaking directly to them.
MSM will do anything to help that rag win, period. It must have been super special because I can’t find the skit....just descriptions of it.
I can’t imagine a single NASCAR fan voting for Kamala. But at least hopefully any of them who thought of staying home on Tuesday, will be motivated now.
They will offer Trump free time this coming Saturday...(rolling eyes)
Akin to Nevada Senator Reid: “It worked, didn’t it?”

Sarah Palin and Hillary both appeared on SNL. They both lost.
I think NBC has a good argument that they didn’t give her free airtime. No one watches SNL.
As if anyone was watching
And that’s exactly why she may yet win.
We have performance, intelligence, facts, integrity and the best plan.
She has glitzy Hollywood types like Taylor Swift, Will Ferrell and Beyonce, fake news and social media.
Since the USA has uncountable numbers of low info voters it could go either way.
Cheating is in their entire psychology....they can’t help themselves!
Exactly…….also yeah, we stole the 2020 and the 2022 midterms in GA and there is nothing you can do about, which is why we will steal the 2024 and if you protest you will be imprisoned for being an insurrectionist.
thank Lawrence Joseph Sarsfield Daly a.k.a. Lar “America First” Daly, for bringing this FCC rule to the forefront.
What was too funny is, the networks would give him time after they “closed” for the day.
NBC gives Trump free election ad airtime during NASCAR, NFL broadcasts after Harris ‘SNL’ furor

They knew EXACTLY what they were doing with a mindset of “Better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission (and be told no)”. They hate us and to counter that and maintain our self-respect and dignity we have choice but to starve their entities of our money. Will be hard because they own so much of what we need like internet (Comcast), so we may not be able to do it overnight, but we can start making a dent.
It’s starting to look like the Hillary Clintoon whiners and screamers are probably letting their chest and armpit hair grow back again and digging out their pink vagina hats while crocheting one for their “white dud” boyfriends to keep their man buns warm.
