FCC plans to challenge ABC station licenses amid Kimmel controversy

As the Trump administration pressures ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel, the Trump-aligned FCC is planning to challenge the network’s station licenses, setting up a legal battle with ABC’s parent company Disney.

The FCC is preparing to “call in all of the TV station licenses for Disney/ABC for early renewal,” a source familiar with the matter told CNN, confirming a report by Semafor.
