Disney and ABC sue FCC over early broadcast license renewal order

First Amendment lawsuit broadcast license renewal FCC investigation media freedom retaliatory campaign

Disney and its subsidiary ABC have filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in Washington, D.C. The legal action seeks to block an unprecedented order that requires the early renewal of broadcast licenses for eight ABC-owned stations, including those in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia.

The lawsuit alleges that the Trump administration is conducting a “retaliatory campaign” against ABC due to political disapproval of its editorial decisions and news coverage. Disney and ABC argue that the FCC is using its regulatory authority to punish the network, citing recent tensions involving late-night host Jimmy Kimmel and the administration's public criticisms of the network.

The FCC has justified the accelerated review process by citing ongoing investigations into Disney’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies and whether the program “The View” has violated equal-time rules. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has denied allegations of political retaliation, stating that the agency is simply holding broadcasters accountable to their public interest and statutory obligations.
