May a broadcast station or cable system refuse to sell advertising time to the first legally qualified candidate for the U.S. Senate who asks to buy time? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
Section 312(a)(7) requires stations to provide “reasonable access” to candidates running for federal office. Courts have interpreted “reasonable access” to mean selling advertising time to candidates for federal office—even if the candidate wanting to purchase time is the first running for that office to do so. Therefore, the station will have to sell time to any legally qualified candidate for federal office.
