The FCC is also \u200binvestigating ABC daytime talk show &#8220;The View&#8221; after declaring it is subject to federal equal time rules for \u200bpolitical candidates.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;The FCC wants to control who is allowed to appear on the show,&#8221; says \u2060one of the on-air spots, encouraging viewers to file public comments with the agency. &#8220;Viewers use your voice.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>A license \u200breview is the FCC&#8217;s formal assessment of whether a station has served the public interest, and it can lead \u200bto renewal or revocation of its broadcast license.<\/div>\n<div>ABC said the &#8220;The View\u201d on-air spots will run during a commercial break within the hour of the show. It will also run image ads on ABC.com and social media sites.<\/div>\n<div>The FCC did not immediately comment.<\/div>\n<div>Last month, \u200bABC said the early reviews were &#8220;unlawful, arbitrary, and unconstitutional,&#8221; and violates the network&#8217;s First Amendment free speech rights.<\/div>\n<div>The \u200breviews were ordered in April a day after Trump urged ABC to fire late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.<\/div>\n<div>The FCC said the reviews, \u200cwhich were \u2060not supposed to begin until October 2028, were prompted by a year-long probe on the FCC&#8217;s ban on unlawful discrimination. The stations are located in Fresno, California, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Philadelphia, Houston and Durham, North Carolina.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;The FCC is questioning our commitment to the community,&#8221; another ABC spot says. &#8220;Show your support.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>Trump has repeatedly urged \u200bbroadcasters to drop comedy \u200bor news programs he dislikes \u2060or which have been critical of him, pressing regulators to revoke licenses of broadcasters he says are unfair to him.<\/div>\n<div>FCC Chair Brendan Carr, who was named to the \u200bjob by Trump, opened an investigation in March 2025 into Disney&#8217;s diversity practices \u200band said Disney \u2060submitted documents in the probe that he felt were insufficient &#8211; and has not ruled out seeking to revoke their licenses.<\/div>\n<div>Carr defended the decision to call for the early reviews, saying, &#8220;If Disney engaged in illegal DEI discrimination, if it failed \u2060to operate \u200bbroadcast stations in the public interest, it will be held accountable.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>Trump \u200bdemanded in November that the FCC revoke ABC licenses after he criticized an ABC News correspondent for asking Saudi Arabia&#8217;s crown prince about the \u200b2018 killing of a Washington Post columnist in a question he dubbed &#8220;insubordinate.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>(This story has been refiled to say &#8216;viewers,&#8217; not &#8216;views,&#8217; in the headline)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2693\">Trump allies defend him to Israelis anxious over Iran deal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2692\">EV maker Lucid to cut about 18% of US workforce, COO Winterhoff exits<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2690\">Mapping the Market: Copper\u2019s pause may be setting the stage for the next leg up<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disney-owned ABC said \u200bon Monday it was launching an on-air campaign encouraging viewers to show support for the \u200cnetwork in its two ongoing battles with the U.S. government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2694,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[84],"class_list":["post-2695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-business"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
