FCC Chair Brendan Carr publicly stated that broadcast networks could face license revocation proceedings following President Trump's criticism of media coverage during military operations against Iran in March 2026. Carr cited Section 312 of the Communications Act as the statutory basis for potential enforcement action against networks holding broadcast licenses.

The FCC received complaints about Bad Bunny's 2026 Super Bowl halftime performance and conducted a review of the broadcast. While the agency confirmed it examined the matter, the characterization of this as a formal investigation and the specific finding of no issues lacks complete documentation in publicly available FCC records as of mid-February 2026.
