Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equal time rule, also known as the equal opportunities rule, requires broadcast stations to provide equal opportunities to all legally qualified political candidates running for any public office. However, it does not require the media to sell ads to candidates. Stations are required to offer candidates the same opportunity to air their messages, but candidates are responsible for purchasing their own ads.
