"The FCC has been investigating Disney's ABC stations for possible violations of the Communications Act of 1934 and the FCC's rules, including the agency's prohibition on unlawful discrimination."
"I want to ensure that Disney and ABC have not been violating FCC equal employment opportunity regulations by promoting invidious forms of DEI discrimination."
"Disney, like many American companies, has retreated from some DEI policies in the Trump era. It has deemphasized words like 'diversity' and 'equity.'"
The FCC is reviewing Disney-owned ABC's broadcast licenses due to concerns over its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices. The investigation follows President Trump's call for ABC to fire comedian Jimmy Kimmel. FCC Chair Brendan Carr announced the inquiry, citing possible violations of the Communications Act of 1934. ABC must file license renewals for its stations by May 28. Carr has previously expressed concerns about Disney's DEI policies and their compliance with equal employment opportunity regulations. Disney is currently reviewing the FCC's letter and plans to engage with the commission.
