NBC News filed an Equal Time notice with the Federal Communications Commission late Sunday, disclosing Kamala Harris' appearance on "Saturday Night Live" after the network was accused of violating the longstanding rule.
Under normal circumstances, the filing would allow all other qualified candidates competing against Harris to seek equal airtime from NBC for up to a week. NBC would be required to grant it under federal law.
The NBC filing later Sunday confirms that the network "views the Harris SNL appearance as a free use of their facilities and airwaves within the meaning of the federal Equal Time rule," Carr told Fox News Digital later Sunday, highlighting the limited timeframe Trump and others have in this case to take the network up on its offer.
In normal Equal Time cases, "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," Carr said.
