Trump threatens TV broadcast licenses after networks skip speech

President Trump threatened to revoke the broadcast licenses of ABC and NBC after they did not preempt programming to live-stream his speech on election integrity. The FCC has launched probes into broadcasters for potential violations of public interest standards, while CBS and Fox aired portions or the full speech live. Networks avoided live coverage of claims about foreign interference in the 2020 election, citing caution after Fox's defamation settlement over election-related falsehoods.
