FCC to order early license reviews of Disney-owned ABC stations, source says

​The Federal Communications ​Commission is ‌set to ​order early reviews of eight Disney-owned ‌ABC stations as soon as Tuesday in a dramatic escalation of the ‌Trump administration's fight with ‌major media outlets, a source told Reuters.

The reviews -- which could lead to ⁠the ​FCC ⁠seeking to revoke the stations licenses to ⁠operate on broadcast airwaves -- come in the ​wake of the White House ⁠call to fire ABC late ⁠night ​host Jimmy Kimmel but are not directly tied to ⁠that, the source added. The FCC has ⁠not ⁠revoked a broadcast TV station license in more than ‌40 ‌years. (Editing by ​Franklin Paul)
