Summary
ABC has sued the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on First Amendment grounds, alleging the agency's demand for an early review of its broadcast licenses is an "existential threat" and retaliation for criticism of the Trump administration by figures like Jimmy Kimmel. The lawsuit, filed by ABC, Disney, and eight ABC-owned stations, seeks to halt the early renewal proceedings, which the FCC, under Chairman Brendan Carr, initiated citing diversity practices but followed comments by Kimmel that angered President Trump.
