Hard to see how they could provide equal time when they file a day before the election. Also I would imagine you’re supposed to file before the appearance, not after.
A question about the ruling: Do they just need to offer the air time in good conscience or do they need to air President Trump live for that same exact amount of time?
Reason being is that Joe Rogan offered Kamala and she declined last minute but ended up with Fetterman.
Under normal circumstances, the filing would allow all other qualified candidates competing against Harris to seek equal airtime from NBC for up to a week. NBC would be required to grant it under federal law.
The Federal Communications Commission’s equal-time rule was established in 1934 and requires radio and television broadcast stations to provide the same amount of time for competing political candidates. There are exceptions to the rule such as newscasts, documentaries and political debates.
["]Because remember, broadcasters are placed in a special position of trust. They're not just like any other person with a soapbox on the corner. They have a license from the federal government that obligates them to operate in the public interest," FCC commissioner Carr told Fox News Digital[.]
Joe Rogan's podcast is not a publicly broadcasted program, so he is not required to give equal time to other candidates.
If I remember correctly, the FCC chair who slapped SNL with this is a Biden appointee. She's the ONLY good thing the Biden admin has ever done because she goes after fucking everyone.
Having her as the one holdover when Trump gets into office would be very useful as she appears to be doing pro-Populist shit like wanting to break up monopolies like Google, and I bet she probably has some things to say about Section 230 protections for PUBLISHERS vs platforms.

Note they filed AFTER the FCC weighed in.
Trump should demand his 1:30 on the NBC Nightly News tonight.
Then RFK jr should demand his 1:30 to campaign tonight as well.
Trump already got it. Its something like 90 seconds (was that all she was on SNL for?) during the fucking football game.
So, like always, Harris tried to pull a fast one, fucked up, and handed Trump a W bigger than anyone could possibly imagine.
