FCC Reviews Disney Broadcast Licenses and ABC Programming
FCC may strip 'The View' of news status and review licenses.
Event Overview
The FCC is preparing to rule that ABC's 'The View' is not a bona fide news program, which would subject it to federal equal-time rules for political candidates. Additionally, the agency is escalating an investigation into Disney's broadcast licenses, including requesting early reviews for eight ABC stations. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has stated that licenses are not 'sacred cows' and may be revoked if the company is found not to be operating in the public interest.
