"The FCC claims it made the decision as part of an investigation into Disney's policies on diversity, equity, and inclusivity (DEI)."
"Disney wasn't set to renew its broadcast licenses until 2028, according to NBC News. The entertainment giant controls ABC stations in eight major markets."
"The move comes just one day after President Donald Trump demanded ABC fire late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, who called Melania Trump an 'expectant widow.'"
The Federal Communications Commission has mandated that Disney's ABC stations file for early license renewal due to an investigation into the company's diversity, equity, and inclusivity policies. This decision follows a controversial remark made by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel about Melania Trump. Disney was not scheduled to renew its licenses until 2028, but now must complete the process by May 28th. The company operates ABC stations in major markets, including Los Angeles and New York.
