Section 315 of the 1934 Communications Act requires broadcast stations to give all qualified political candidates an equal opportunity to obtain airtime, also known as the "equal time" rule. This means that if a station provides airtime to one candidate, they must give the same opportunity to all other candidates running for the same office.
