Metro Broadcasting, Inc. v. FCC
Metro Broadcasting, Inc. v. FCC, 497 U.S. 547 (1990), was a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States that held that intermediate scrutiny should be applied to equal protection challenges to federal statutes using benign racial classifications. The Court distinguished the previous year's decision City of Richmond v. J.A. Croson Company, by noting that it applied only to actions by state and local governments. Metro Broadcasting was overruled by Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Peña, which held that strict scrutiny should be applied to federal laws that use benign racial classifications.
