Answer 1

1. a TV anchor using racial slurs against a celebrity

2. a TV broadcaster charging exorbitant rates for pay-per-view events

Step-by-step explanation:

The FCC is responsible for regulating interstate and international communications and therefore would intervene when a TV anchor uses racial slurs against a celebrity and also when a TV broadcaster charges exorbitant rates for pay-per-view events.

Answer 2

A radio station dropping all forms of advertisement

A TV broadcaster charging exorbitant rates for pay-per-view events

Step-by-step explanation:

The FCC ( Federal Communications Commission) regulates interstate and international communications within the USA.

It aims to close the digital divide so that the private sector will build, upgrade, and maintain a solid communication network so that advanced communication would be available to all Americans.

The FCC also aims to grow a competitive, dynamic and innovative market and promote entrepreneurship.

They also aim to protect consumers from unwanted and intrusive communications.

Therefore, a radio station dropping all form of advertisement, and a TV broadcaster charging exorbitant rates for pay-per-view events would go against their policies and they would have to intervene.
