Final answer:

The fairness doctrine, established in 1949, required broadcasters to present all viewpoints on controversial issues in a balanced manner and ended in the 1980s.


Explanation:

The now-defunct rule that required broadcasters to provide time for opposing views when they aired programs on controversial issues was called the fairness doctrine.

The fairness doctrine was instituted in 1949 and required licensed stations to cover controversial issues in a balanced manner by providing listeners with information about all perspectives on any controversial issue.

It ended in the 1980s, after a succession of court cases led to its repeal by the FCC in 1987.
