FCC orders early reviews of Disney-owned ABC stations

​The Federal Communications ​Commission on ‌Tuesday ordered ​early license reviews of eight ‌Disney-owned ABC stations in a major escalation of the Trump administration's ‌battles with U.S. media outlets.

The ‌FCC said the reviews, which were not supposed to begin until ⁠October ​2028, ⁠were prompted by a year-long probe ⁠on the FCC's ban on unlawful ​discrimination. The FCC ordered ⁠Disney to file its applications for renewals ⁠by ​May 28. The stations are located in Fresno, ⁠Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, New York, ⁠Philadelphia, ⁠Houston and Durham, North Carolina.
