Legal Experts Say FCC Faces Uphill Battle to Revoke ABC Licenses

The FCC ordered Disney to file early license renewal applications for ABC stations by May 28, but legal experts say the 1996 Telecommunications Act makes license denial nearly impossible. The law eliminated comparative renewal hearings and requires the FCC to prove willful or repeated violations before denying renewal. The action follows Trump and Melania Trump's calls to fire Jimmy Kimmel over a joke, and FCC Chair Brendan Carr's investigation into Disney's DEI practices.

Democrats and First Amendment advocates have condemned the action as government intimidation of broadcasters.
