\n

FCC chairman Brendan Carr said he will defer to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on whether TV networks can air the planned execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan by firing squad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Pentagon has said the execution will be livestreamed<\/a>, suggesting it\u2019ll appear on an online platform beyond the FCC\u2019s jurisdiction. But it\u2019s common for broadcast TV networks to air live video of government events, and Carr\u2019s agency does have a say over what happens on public airwaves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cMy understanding is it\u2019s not on broadcast TV, so I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a role for the FCC one way or the other,\u201d Carr said in a CNBC interview<\/a> today. \u201cBut I trust Secretary Hegseth. He\u2019s implemented the laws and the regulations that are relevant to the Department of War, and I think he\u2019s doing a great job, and I trust that he\u2019s making the right call on these issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When asked if the execution would be allowed on broadcast TV if the Defense Department wanted it, Carr said it would be Hegseth\u2019s choice. \u201cUltimately we\u2019re going to defer to Secretary Hegseth and his decisions on how to move forward with this,\u201d Carr said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Verge<\/em> has asked major tech companies whether they will allow the execution livestream<\/a> on their platforms. As of this writing, YouTube, Twitch, Meta, and X haven\u2019t responded to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
