FCC orders review of ABC licenses after Kimmel joke offends Trump and first lady

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ordered ABC's parent company, Disney, to submit early license renewal applications for its TV stations following a controversial joke by Jimmy Kimmel about First Lady Melania Trump. The move comes after President Trump and the first lady demanded ABC fire Kimmel for the comment, which described Melania as looking like an 'expectant widow.' The FCC stated the action is part of an investigation into whether ABC met public interest obligations.
