FCC Considers Early Review of ABC's TV Licenses Amid Kimmel Controversy
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is contemplating an early review of the Walt Disney Co.'s broadcast TV licenses following criticism of ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's jokes. The review, which could be ordered soon, targets ABC's stations, including KABC in Los Angeles, whose licenses were not due for renewal until 2028. The move comes amid backlash over Kimmel's satirical comments about the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, which some right-wing commentators claim incited a security breach at the event. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who has previously criticized ABC programming, is leading the charge, raising concerns among free speech advocates.
