WASHINGTON, Nov 7 (Reuters) - U.S. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr will testify on Dec. 17 before the Senate Commerce Committee after he faced bipartisan criticism for pressuring broadcasters to take ABC late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel off air. Senator Ted Cruz, the committee chair, announced the oversight hearing late on Friday, which will also include commissioners Olivia Trusty and Anna Gomez. Reuters reported in October the planned hearing. (Reporting by David Shepardson; Editing by Leslie Adler) ((David.Shepardson@thomsonreuters.com; 2028988324;))
