Which federal agency regulates broadcast transmissions?

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is the agency responsible for regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. This includes overseeing broadcast transmissions, ensuring that they operate within the legal framework established by federal laws. The FCC sets rules on various aspects of broadcasting, such as licensing, content regulations, and technical standards, aiming to manage the airwaves efficiently and protect the public interest. The other agencies do not have roles related to the regulation of broadcast transmissions: the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) focuses on consumer protection and antitrust laws; the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) oversees civil aviation; and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) deals with food production and agricultural issues.
