FCC Chairman Brendan Carr sent a letter to Google to address allegations of faith-based discrimination by YouTube TV.

The claims arise from multiple unsuccessful attempts by Great American Media to have its linear network, Great American Family, carried on YouTube TV.

In a letter addressed to parent company Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and Google CEO Neal Mohan, Carr aimed to get some answers.

Google is the parent company of YouTube and oversees YouTube TV.

After invoking the rise in censorship by tech giants in recent years, Carr added, "I am writing to determine whether YouTube TV has a policy or practice that favors discrimination against faith-based channels." He set a March 11 deadline to schedule a briefing.

A spokesperson for YouTube told , "We welcome the opportunity to brief the FCC on YouTube TV’s subscription service and the strategic business decisions we make based on factors like user demand, operational cost and financial terms, and to reiterate that we do not have any policies that prohibit religious content."

Great American Media Chairman Doug Deason praised Carr's letter to Google, saying in a statement, "We are grateful for Commissioner Carr’s commitment to ensuring that all voices—including those that reflect faith values—receive fair treatment on major streaming platforms."
