FCC Chair Brendan Carr has announced an investigation into Disney and its ABC unit regarding their diversity practices, suggesting potential violations of U.S. equal employment opportunity regulations. In his communication, Carr emphasized the importance of dismantling discriminatory initiatives beyond mere rhetoric. Notably, this inquiry follows similar probes initiated against Comcast and Verizon. Disney's recent adjustment of its executive compensation policies, which excluded diversity and inclusion metrics, was highlighted as insufficient. The FCC's Enforcement Bureau will be engaging with Disney to review its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in detail.
I want to ensure that Disney ends any and all discriminatory initiatives in substance, not just name.
We are reviewing the Federal Communications Commission's letter, and we look forward to engaging with the commission to answer its questions.
