The F.C.C. strikes Disney again
The Trump administration has threatened to essentially crack down on programming that displeases President Trump. Now it seems to be making good on that.
The F.C.C.’s extraordinary move to
review ABC’s broadcast TV licenses
may face long odds in court. But it’s another warning to corporate giants — like Disney, which owns ABC — that perceived slights against the administration could be costly.
What’s happening:
The F.C.C. is looking into Disney’s fitness to hold licenses for eight TV stations, including in markets like New York and Los Angeles. The licenses are not actually up for renewal until 2028 at the earliest, but the F.C.C. can legally demand a review at any time.
