FCC to Review Disney Licenses Following Trumps Criticism of Jimmy Kimmel

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced that it will conduct a review of Disney’s broadcast licenses, following criticism from former President Donald Trump regarding Jimmy Kimmel’s show.

According to reports, the FCC took action amid controversy surrounding comments made by Trump about ABC’s late-night talk show. The agency is now reviewing Disney’s broadcast licenses as part of its standard process for evaluating license renewals.

The review was initiated ahead of schedule, with no specific timeline provided for completion. The FCC typically reviews broadcast licenses every four to seven years, but the agency has accelerated this process in response to the controversy surrounding Trump’s comments.

Disney’s broadcast licenses cover various channels, including ABC and ESPN. The company has not commented publicly on the review or its potential impact on Disney’s operations.

The FCC’s decision to review Disney’s licenses is part of a broader effort to ensure that all media companies comply with federal regulations and standards. The agency will conduct an evaluation of Disney’s broadcast licenses as part of this process, which may involve reviewing the company’s compliance with rules related to content, advertising, and other aspects of broadcasting.

The review of Disney’s licenses is separate from any potential action taken by the FCC regarding Trump’s comments about Jimmy Kimmel’s show. The agency has not announced any plans to take disciplinary action against ABC or Disney in response to Trump’s criticism.
