May a broadcast station or cable system refuse to sell advertising time to the first legally qualified candidate for a statewide or local elective office who asks to buy time? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
Yes, the station may refuse to sell time. However, the FCC will question whether the station is acting in the public interest, the standard the station must meet to have its license renewed. Realistically, the station will need to sell time to the first candidate, although technically under Section 315 it need not.
