The equal time rule requires that if a television station sells airtime to one political candidate, then they must offer the same airtime to all other candidates running for the same office. This ensures a fair and balanced coverage of political campaigns and prevents any single candidate from gaining an unfair advantage over others. Refusing to sell airtime to the Democratic candidate for governor would violate this rule. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 did not specifically address the equal time rule, and the fairness doctrine was abolished in 1987.
