ABC is correct to fight against the FCC’s bullying | New York Daily News

ABC has initiated legal action against the Federal Communications Commission and Chair Brendan Carr. The lawsuit follows an effort by the FCC to mandate that eight local ABC-owned broadcast stations, including those in New York, L.A., and Chicago, undergo license renewals significantly ahead of their original schedules. This legal challenge aims to contest the regulatory requirements imposed by the commission, which ABC views as an improper acceleration of the standard renewal process for its local broadcast stations.
