FCC orders early renewal of Bridge News TV stations
April 28, 2026 - The order is connected to an FCC investigation into whether Bridge News transferred control of its stations without proper authorization.
Woah this comes on the same day we are talking about Disney owned ABC affiliates facing the same FCC issues over their licences. But this one involves WMNN-TV in Cadillac city over the "Transfer of control of its stations without obtaining the agency's approval."
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) this week ordered a low-power broadcaster called Bridge News to renew its broadcast TV station licenses early.
The demand, from the FCC’s Media Bureau, follows an investigation into allegations that the broadcaster transferred control of its stations without obtaining the agency’s approval.
Bridge News owns a handful of low-power TV stations that were previously affiliated with NewsNet, a 24-hour broadcast news channel that shut down nearly two years ago. The company’s flagship channel, WMNN (Channel 26) in Cadillac City, currently airs programming from NBC Universal’s multicast network Cozi TV on its main broadcast feed.
