GOP Candidates Want Equal Time from NBC

After Donald Trump hosted “Saturday Night Live” this month — appearing on screen for 12 minutes and 5 seconds — several other presidential campaigns have sent letters to NBC requesting “equal opportunities” on the network, the New York Times reports.

“Federal Communications Commission regulations state that other candidates for president are entitled to ‘equal time’ on the network… By law, NBC is not required to give them exactly the same treatment as that received by Mr. Trump, meaning that there will probably not be a Mike Huckabee-hosted ‘S.N.L.’ anytime in the near future. The network is just required to give equal time for the candidates to reach a relatively equal audience.”
