And the Commission is currently reviewing a request that would permit Middle East investors to own a majority of Paramount Skydance\u2019s economic shares (though control of the company would remain with David Ellison).<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAlong the way, of course, Paramount and its CBS subsidiary has had other matters before the FCC too. A ProPublica report released Wednesday, however, reveals that both Carr and fellow Republican FCC commissioner Olivia Trusty received pricey gifts valued at thousands of dollars from Paramount: Tickets to the Kennedy Center Honors, which were televised by the network.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tProPublica found that Trusty\u2019s ethics disclosure revealed that the tickets to the event were valued at $12,000. Carr hasn\u2019t filed his ethics disclosure yet, but was seen seated in a private box with David Ellison, and Kennedy Center guidelines suggest that those tickets would be priced at $125,000 each.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=3702\">Where to Watch the 2026 ESPYs Live Online<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe timing of the event coincided with Paramount fighting Netflix for control of Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount was ultimately successful, and now is in the midst of its FCC review.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAll of that being said, ProPublica found that attendance at the Kennedy Center Honors has been a bipartisan tradition, with CBS offering tickets to FCC commissioners with the company\u2019s compliments. The non-profit found that seven out of the 10 commissioners that have served in the last 10 years attended, including Carr\u2019s predecessor Jessica Rosenworcel, and Anna Gomez, the lone Democratic commissioner, who did not attend in 2025. but has done so in the past.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBut Paramount\u2019s deal for WBD is attracting newfound scrutiny (not to mention lawsuits), which seems to have put the gifted tickets in a new light.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=3700\">And Now Netflix Has a Docuseries on the Idaho Student Murders<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FCC chairman Brendan Carr accepted expensive Kennedy Center Honors ticket from Paramount amid deal reviews.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3705,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[330,1184],"class_list":["post-3706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-fcc","tag-paramount-skydance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
