The Federal Communications Commission has sent a letter to Comcast inquiring about its DEI practices, a company spokesperson confirmed Wednesday.

The head of the Federal Communications Commission said he is seeking an investigation of NBCUniversal and its parent company Comcast over the firm's corporate diversity initiatives. In a post on X, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said he is concerned the companies "may be promoting invidious forms of DEI that do not comply with FCC regulations & civil rights laws.

FCC Chair Carr, a Trump appointee, has said he will investigate PBS and NPR, which both receive government funding, to see if government rules around the naming of financial sponsors on the air has been violated.
