Disney sues FCC over challenge to broadcast licenses, claims retaliation over ‘Jimmy Kimmel’
Disney has initiated legal proceedings against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), accusing the agency of violating its First Amendment rights. The lawsuit follows the FCC's actions against ABC, alleging a breach of broadcasters' duty to "operate in the public interest." The FCC's investigation targets eight ABC local broadcast licenses, launched in April, prior to their expiration.
ABC had denounced the FCC as attempting to suppress its free speech, claiming it sets a precedent for all media outlets in the country.
