Stop Communist Radio Act of 2025
To direct the Federal Communications Commission to establish a program to make grants to certain radio stations experiencing harmful interference, and for other purposes.
This bill aims to support radio stations that face harmful interference, particularly from foreign sources, by allowing the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to give them financial grants. The interference in question could be intentional or unintentional, and it could be affecting the quality or availability of radio broadcasts.
Radio stations that qualify for these grants will be those that can prove they are suffering from harmful interference. This could include stations that are disrupted by foreign broadcasts or signals, which could be politically motivated. The financial assistance would help these stations improve their signal quality, upgrade equipment, or otherwise mitigate the interference they are experiencing.
Introduced on December 12, 2025, the bill was immediately referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for further consideration. As of now, the bill is in its early stages, and no further actions have been taken. It's currently under review by the committee, which will determine the next steps for the legislation.
