FCC to order early license reviews of Disney-owned ABC stations, source says

- United States
The Federal Communications Commission is set to order early reviews of eight Disney-owned ABC stations as soon as Tuesday in a dramatic escalation of the Trump administration's fight with major media outlets, a source told Reuters.
The reviews -- which could lead to the FCC seeking to revoke the stations licenses to operate on broadcast airwaves -- come in the wake of the White House call to fire ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel but are not directly tied to that, the source added. The FCC has not revoked a broadcast TV station license in more than 40 years. (Editing by Franklin Paul)
