FCC plans to challenge ABC station licenses amid Kimmel saga

FCC plans to challenge ABC station licenses amid Kimmel saga 28.04.2026

The Trump administration, through the FCC, is challenging the license renewals for eight ABC-owned television stations, including those in New York and Chicago, by May 28, 2026. This action, unprecedented in decades, is officially framed as an investigation into Disney’s diversity initiatives for possible violations of the Communications Act and FCC rules. However, it is widely perceived as retaliation for ABC airing Jimmy Kimmel's show and resisting President Trump's demands to fire the comedian after his controversial remarks about Melania Trump. Disney maintains its stations comply with all FCC rules and plans to legally contest the FCC’s action, emphasizing their commitment to serving local communities.
