Disney says FCC review of ABC licenses threatens free speech

Disney and ABC are challenging the FCC’s review of eight local broadcast licenses, claiming the action is politically motivated and violates the First Amendment. The dispute involves tensions over diversity policies, The View, and Jimmy Kimmel’s comments, with Disney stating 95% of public comments supported the company. A bipartisan group of former FCC officials urged the agency to end the review, calling it an unprecedented free speech threat.
