FCC orders early review of Disney’s TV licenses
The Federal Communications Commission says it wants the Walt Disney Company to file for early license renewal for its television stations. The announcement comes one day after President Trump and the first lady called on ABC to fire late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. CBS News legal contributor Rebecca Roiphe joins with analysis.
Pressure is mounting for ABC and Disney after an unprecedented move by the FCC, ordering all eight Disney-owned local ABC stations to file early license renewals, years before their expiration. This, as Jimmy Kimmel and ABC remain under fire for his recent comments about the first lady. NBC News’ Chloe Melas has the story.
The agency said the review was related to the network’s diversity and inclusion policies. But it came amid a fight between the president and the network’s late night host, Jimmy Kimmel.
