Who controls what Americans watch—and who decides what news reaches millions of people? In this episode of This Is America, we examine the growing concentration of media ownership in the United States following the FCC's decision to remove long-standing limits on how many households a single broadcaster can reach. The move comes as billion-dollar media mergers reshape Hollywood and the television industry. The proposed merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery is facing legal challenges from multiple US states and the Writers Guild, who argue it could reduce competition, eliminate jobs and give even more influence to a handful of powerful corporations. From local television stations to streaming giants, this episode explores how decades of consolidation have transformed America's media landscape, what it means for free speech, competition and consumers, and why the battle over who owns the news is becoming increasingly political.
