Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Equal Time Rule requires broadcast stations to provide political candidates with equal opportunities to access to airtime for presenting their views or opinions. It means that if a broadcaster provides airtime to one candidate, the same amount of airtime must be provided to the other candidate(s) to avoid favoritism and ensure fairness. This rule only applies to federal candidates and does not include coverage of news events or regularly scheduled newscasts or talk shows.
