White House Proposal Aims TV License Renewal Standards
The White House proposed legislation to extend license terms to five years and require stations to be substantially attuned to local publics. The plan would shift burden in renewals to challengers and bar national performance quotas. Harley Staggers and Sam Devine will push the bill through the Commerce Committee.

Wetlands protections set by EPA regulations nationwide
The EPA announced safeguards to protect wetlands and salt marshes from filling and pollution, limiting federal funding for harmful projects and requiring hearings and interagency consultation. Areas like upper Newport Bay and San Francisco Bay may be affected, with protections framed by EPA authority and grant administration. In Berkeley, health officials warn of a potential California encephalitis outbreak in the central valleys this summer.
