FCC Orders Early Review Of License Renewals Of Disney Stations
UPDATE: The FCC on Tuesday ordered The Walt Disney Co. to submit to early renewals of its owned and operated stations.
In a filing, the FCC’s Media Bureau said, “The FCC determines that calling in Disney’s ABC licenses for early renewal, at this time, under the Communications Act’s public interest standard is essential within the meaning of agency regulations. Therefore, Disney’s ABC is hereby directed to file license renewals for all of their licensed TV stations within 30 days–in other words, by May 28, 2026.”
The short notice indicated that the review is related to a prior investigation over the company’s diversity, equity and inclusion practices. But it also comes amid Donald Trump’s attacks on Jimmy Kimmel and his calls for him to be fired.
