Disney sues FCC over early license review of ABC stations

The Walt Disney Company and ABC have filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission. The legal action seeks to halt an early license renewal process for eight broadcast television stations. The FCC, led by Chairman Brendan Carr, ordered these renewals two to five years before their scheduled expiration. Disney and ABC allege that this accelerated review is an attack by the Trump administration and constitutes retaliation against the network's broadcast operations.
