Did you read the text? It _does not_ order such broadcasting, your quote is made-up. Here's the closest quote I find:

> Chairman Brendan Carr issued the following statement: ... "I am inviting broadcasters to pledge to air programming in their local markets in support of this historic national, non-partisan celebration."

Are you aware that this government, and indeed this government rep which we're discussing, has threatened to revoke broadcasting licenses from companies for airing content the government disagrees with? Or worse? On multiple occasions?

If you don't have that context, none of my post will have made sense to you, which it appears is what happened.
