Disney, ABC sue US regulator over threats to broadcast licenses

Disney and ABC have filed a federal lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission, alleging violations of First Amendment rights. The companies accuse the FCC of waging a retaliatory campaign and punishing ABC for its speech, specifically citing content involving Jimmy Kimmel and The View. The lawsuit seeks to block the agency from taking steps that could force stations off the air, including an expedited renewal process for eight broadcast licenses under the Trump administration's FCC leadership.
