ABC asks viewers to contact FCC over probes into 'The View' and local stations

tvJun 22, 202624944

ABC launched an on-air campaign Monday urging viewers to contact the Federal Communications Commission and oppose its early review of ABC’s local broadcast licenses and a separate investigation into the talk show The View. The spots run in major markets including New York, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia and explicitly direct viewers to submit public comments to the FCC docket. The FCC opened the license review and the program inquiry as part of enforcement actions tied to the Trump administration’s scrutiny of Disney and its outlets. The outcome will determine whether the FCC imposes fines, conditions, or license changes and could set a precedent for regulator intervention in news and talk programming.
