The FCC's License to Retaliate The Walt Disney Company and ABC have filed a lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) over what they claim is a retaliatory campaign by the Trump administration.
The complaint accuses the FCC of waging an "existential threat" against the media conglomerate's ability to broadcast its content, citing the agency's decision to order eight Disney owned television stations to file their license renewals ahead of schedule.
This move has been criticized as unprecedented, with Disney attorneys arguing that it puts broadcasters at a significant disadvantage.
